Earth's rotation causes the trade winds, in a way. If Earth didn't rotate, the wind at these latitudes would blow straight from the subtropical highs to the ITCZ.

What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
Why conditions cause wind and rotating storms to form?
Well, the rotation of the earth does cause the wind pattern to change, if the earth stood still, the wind would be straight.
Is global warming the primary cause of wind?
No. Wind is caused by a combination uneven heating of Earth's surface and Earth's rotation. There has always been wind on Earth and there always will be, with or without global warming.
What is wind stress curl?
Curl is the rotation of wind field
Why does Venus has little wind erosion?
Venus has very little wind erosion because of the slow rotation of the planet. Without rotation, it lacks significant wind and therefore lacks wind erosion.
How does a convetion current cause wind?
Earths rapid rotation and gravity interact to cause wind.
Wind direction is determined by the Earths rotation?
True
What is the shift in the wind direction that causes the earths rotation?
Coriolis effect
What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
The earths rotation in an apparent turning of the wind known as?
Thhe coriolis effect.
What direction does the Earths rotation make the prevailing winds curve?
The Earth's rotation affects all winds, prevailing or otherwise. In the northern hemisphere the Earth's rotation cause wind to curve to the right. It curves winds to the left in the southern hemisphere.
How does earths rotation influence the movement of global winds?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
How does the rotation of the earth influence wind?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
What is the effects of earths rotation on the direction of the wind and currents?
It's called the 'coriolis' effect.
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earths rotation is called the?
Coriolis effect
How does the rotation of the earth influence the global wind?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
The trade winds are caused by a rotation of wind know as what?
Hadley cell
