What is the Coriolis Effect?

Changes in humidity levels in the air

Winds caused by the Earth's rotation

Winds changed by air pressure

When precipitation leaves the cloud

The Coriolis Effect refers to the phenomenon caused by the rotation of the Earth, which results in moving objects, such as winds and ocean currents, being deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect is not related to changes in humidity levels, air pressure, or precipitation leaving clouds, but rather it influences the direction of wind patterns and ocean currents as they are affected by the Earth's rotation.
