Why does air not move straight north or south because of what?

Air does not move straight north or south due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving air masses to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in curved paths rather than straight north or south movement.
