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 process that causes the deflection of air .

Explanation:

• The Coriolis effect  causes the deflection of the Earth, which was observed by Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis.

• Coriolis observed that  land breeze, sea breeze and local winds tend to blow with the direction of the Earth.

• The air does not follow a straight pattern. Instead, the air from the Northern Hemisphere is deflected to the right and vice versa from the left hemisphere.
