The correct response that describes the Coriolis effect is:
**the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.**
The Coriolis effect refers to how the Earth's rotation impacts the direction of wind and ocean currents, causing them to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
