Question

If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel either north or south due to differences in temperature and pressure. But since the Earth does rotate, the deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. If the Earth didn't rotate, winds would travel either north or south due to differences in temperature and pressure. But since the Earth does rotate, the ____________ deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer 1

Rotation? might be wrong

Answer 2

Answer:

Cariolis effect

Explanation:

Because the Earth rotates, circulating air is deflected. Instead of circulating in a straight pattern, the air deflects toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect
