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.

Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?

Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.


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.

Earths rotation and the Coriolis effect winds almost never blow what way?

The Coriolis effect causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve to the right and winds in the Southern Hemisphere to curve to the left. This results in prevailing winds blowing from east to west or west to east rather than north to south or south to north.
