Question

The teacher told the students in the class that the sea breeze, land breeze and local winds blow to their left or right direction due to the rotation of the earth. Who discovered this process

Answer 1

Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis discovered the Coriolis effect that causes the deflection of air

Explanation:

The land breeze, sea breeze and local winds are deflected to the rotation of the Earth. Instead of flowing in a straight pattern, the air in the Northern Hemisphere deflects towards the right and in the Southern Hemisphere towards the left, resulting in curved paths. This deflection of the circulating air is called the Coriolis effect. It is named after Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis, a French mathematician who studied the transfer of energy in rotating structures such as waterwheels.
