The Coriolis Effect is responsible for this.

counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
Foucault Pendulum: The changing direction of the pendulum's swing demonstrates the rotation of Earth beneath it. Coriolis Effect: The deflection of moving objects like air currents and ocean currents is caused by Earth's rotation. Day-night cycle: The cycle of day and night is a direct result of Earth's rotation on its axis.
The movement of air and water caused by Earth's rotation is known as the Coriolis effect. This effect is a result of the deflection of moving objects, such as air and water, due to the rotation of the Earth. It causes fluids to curve rather than moving in a straight line in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
rotation
Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing day and night. The rotation takes about 24 hours to complete, resulting in the cycle of sunrise and sunset. This rotation also gives the planet its distinctive oblate shape.
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
24 hours rotation
That's "rotation".
because of the earths rotation
