Solution
Due to Coriolis effect, the winds deflect towards right in the northern hemisphere.
Explanation:
Due to the Coriolis effect, winds in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right of their direction of motion. This deflection is caused by Earth’s rotation and affects wind patterns, making them turn clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. In contrast, in the Southern Hemisphere, winds are deflected to the left.
