उत्तर
The Coriolis effect causes planetary winds to deflect due to Earth’s rotation:
-
In the Northern Hemisphere, winds bend to the right.
-
In the Southern Hemisphere, they bend to the left.
This deflection gives winds their curved paths, forming patterns like trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies, instead of flowing straight from high to low pressure.
