The deflection of air masses resulting from earths eastward rotation?

This is the Coriolis Effect. The curvature appears within the rotating reference frame, in which the motion is a straight path being viewed as a curved path. In the northern hemisphere, moving objects appear to turn to the right. In the Southern Hemisphere, moving objects appear to turn to the left. For a path exactly along the equator, the effect disappears.

What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles?
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
