Which direction do air currents move due to the Coriolis effect

Answer 1

The Coriolis effect causes air currents to curve due to the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, air currents are deflected to the right of their path of motion, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are deflected to the left. This results in a counterclockwise rotation of air currents around low-pressure systems and a clockwise rotation around high-pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, the pattern is reversed: pressure systems rotate clockwise around low-pressure and counterclockwise around high-pressure areas. This deflection influences global wind patterns and ocean currents.
