Question

Winds blow in curved loops because of Earth's _____.

atmosphere
shape
rotation
gravity

Answer 1

The correct option is "Rotation"

The movement of terrestrial rotation exerts a three-dimensional effect on the bodies that move on the surface, especially liquids (rivers, seas, oceans, lakes) and gaseous in the atmosphere, such as surface wind, convection, subsidence , etc. They also exert that effect on some solid bodies, such as oceanic, fluvial, lacustrine or terrestrial ice.

Answer 2

Winds blow in curved loops because of Earth's "rotation", since this rotation, being practically constant "pulls" the winds in certain directions that can be fairly predictable.
