HEY MATE
HERE IS THE ANSWER
Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to the Earth. Due to Earth's approximately spherical shape, this force is greatest at the poles and least at the Equator. The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.
In the Southern Hemisphere, currents are deflected to the left. As a result, storm systems seem to rotate clockwise. Outside storm systems, the impact of the Coriolis effect helps define regular wind patterns around the globe. As warm air rises near the Equator, for instance, it flows toward the poles.

The horizon movement of air is called wind ....if the speed of rotation increases then the speed of wind also increases ...it also determines the direction of wind ..
Hope it helps !!
