Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
El Niño is the warm phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and is characterized by above-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.
Explanation:
The Coriolis force is zero at the equator and increases toward the poles. It is a result of Earth's rotation and deflects winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
