Solution

Coriolis force comes into action due to rotation of the Earth.

Coriolis force arises due to the Earth’s rotation, causing moving air or water to deflect right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect is absent at the Equator and increases towards the poles.
