The Coriolis effect is not the tendencey for wind to go from high to low pressure. The Coriolis effect is the tendency for wind to be deflected relative to Earth as this flow occurs. It is a consequence of earth's rotation and the tendency of matter to resist changes in speed and direction.

What effect causes winds to turn westward in the lower northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect.
When the Northern Hemisphere the Coriolis effect causes winds to curve to the?
right. This leads to a clockwise rotation in high pressure systems and counterclockwise rotation in low pressure systems. The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation impacting the movement of fluids and winds on its surface.
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
Earths rotation causes global winds to curve what is the effect called?
it is called the Coriolis effect
What causes planetary winds to deflect when they blow from north to south?
The Coriolis Effect
