Which is the true statement ?
1. Ocean atmosphere coupling of water, heat and momentum transfer is also influenced by earth's rotation.
2. The Coriolis force draws ocean water to the right of its path in the northern hemisphere.
3. Moon and Sun creates tidal bulges on either side of earth.
Answer: D
All three statements are true, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Statement 1: the exchange of heat, water and momentum between ocean and atmosphere drives winds and currents, and the earth's rotation shapes both through the Coriolis effect. Statement 2: in the northern hemisphere the Coriolis force deflects moving water to the right of its path (to the left in the southern hemisphere). Statement 3: the tide-producing forces of the moon and sun raise two tidal bulges, one facing the attracting body and one on the opposite side of the earth.
Since every statement is true, the options that leave any of them out are incomplete.
