Question

Convection currents, which affect weather and climate, are created by Global winds are found in each convection region. Because convection cells are in a set place in the atmosphere and the Earth is spinning on its axis, the winds appear to curve. The apparent curving of the winds is called _______.

Answer 1

Coriolis force.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The force of winds that affects the global wind belts and creates pressure difference on earth.

• The forces that are responsible for the deflection of the winds and are due to the spinning of the earth on its axis is called a Coriolis force.

• As the earth spins anti clockwise that winds are deflected to right in the northern hemisphere and to left in the southern hemisphere.
