If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, the atmosphere would only circulate between the poles and the equator in a simple back-and-forth pattern.

Answer:

The atmosphere of the Earth would only be moving back and forth normally between the equator and the poles if it didn't revolve on its axis.

Explanation:

Step 1: The atmosphere would have been only moved meekly back and forth between the equator which is a low-pressure area and poles which are high pressure zones and the if the Earth would not have been revolving and continued to stay stationary.

Moving air is, however, bounced, exactly as the Earth revolves.

Step 2:The air retreats to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved pathways, as opposed to circling in a predictable and straight manner.

The Coriolis effect is the name given to this deflection.

The French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis, who investigated how energy is transferred in spinning systems like a waterwheel, gave his name to the concept.

Step 3:Due to Earth's almost spherical shape, the rotation of our planet exerts a force on all the bodies in motion in relation to it that is smallest at the equator and the highest at the poles.

The "Coriolis effect" is a force that alters the direction of ocean currents and the wind.
