SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Coriolis force, however, deflects the direction of the flow of the air (to the right in the Northern Hemisphere) and causes the air to flow parallel to the isobars. Winds in the upper levels will blow clockwise around areas of high pressure and counterclockwise around areas of low pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Coriolis Effect, in combination with an area of high pressure, causes the prevailing winds-the trade winds-to move from east to west on both sides of the equator across this 60-degree “belt."

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
