Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth’s rotation means that we experience an apparent force known as the Coriolis force. This deflects the direction of the wind to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Coriolis force is caused by the earth’s rotation. It is responsible for air being pulled to the right (counterclockwise) in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left (clockwise) in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis Effect is the observed curved path of moving objects relative to the surface of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Coriolis effect forces moving objects, including air particles, to deflect to the right of motion in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of its motion in the Southern Hemisphere. While the Coriolis Effect doesn’t cause the wind or affect its speed, it does influence the wind direction.
