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.

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 causes global winds to curve what is the effect called?
it is called the Coriolis effect
What is the way earth's rotation makes wind curve is called?
The rotation of the earth results in what is known as the Coriolus Effect.
What is the influence of earth's rotation causing winds to travel a long distance to curve?
The Coriolis Effect.
Why do the global winds curve like they do?
Global winds are caused by unequal heating of the Earth's surface and they curve because... If the Earth did not rotate, Global Winds would not curve. They would be straight as a line. So because of EARTH'S ROTATION, global winds curve.
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.

When the path of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the Earths rotation it is called the?
The Coriolis effect
How does the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
