Question 5 Why is there no Coriolis effect at the equator? There is a small Coriolis effect at the equator but the high evaporation rate means we do not observe it. The equator has too much incoming sunlight (and therefore water evaporation) for the Coriolis effect to be apparent here. 1 pts The Earth rotation has it's maximum speed at the equator, therefore there is no velocity change and no Coriolis effect.
