The Coriolis effect specifically describes the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is a phenomenon caused by the rotation of the Earth, which results in moving air and water being deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect influences weather patterns and ocean currents.
