What is the effect that causes object to move in a curved direction due to the earths rotation?

The Coriolis effect is the phenomenon that causes objects to move in a curved path due to the rotation of the Earth. It deflects moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect is responsible for the rotation of large-scale weather systems like hurricanes and typhoons.
