C- Nanjing is a prefecture-level city in the People's Republic of China. The city was the historic capital of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the 14th and early 15th centuries and the capital of the Republic of China from 1927-1949, making it one of the four major historic capitals of China. Nanjing is a politically cultural center of China with a long history.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The curved circulation of surface currents is caused by the Earth's rotation.

The 'Coriolis Effect' describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface currents (Figure 14.14). The Earth is a sphere that spins on its axis in a counterclockwise direction when seen from the North Pole. The further towards one of the poles you move from the equator, the shorter the distance around the Earth. This means that objects on the equator move faster than objects further from the equator. While wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth is spinning underneath it. As a result, an object moving north or south along the Earth will appear to move in a curve, instead of in a straight line. Wind or water that travels toward the poles from the equator is deflected to the east, while wind or water that travels toward the equator from the poles gets bent to the west. The Coriolis Effect bends the direction of surface currents.
