Question
how does the coriolis effect influence wind direction?
the spin of earth causes a change in how air moves; it deflects winds to the right in the northern hemisphere
the coriolis effect causes winds to move straight from north to south.
the coriolis effect stops the wind from moving
the coriolis effect makes wind speed faster at the equator.
The Coriolis effect is due to Earth's rotation. In the northern hemisphere, it deflects moving air (winds) to the right.
