The Earth rotates from west to east, causing day and night. It also revolves around the sun along with other planets.
Wind direction is primarily influenced by the pressure gradient force, which is caused by differences in air pressure. The Coriolis effect, a result of Earth's rotation, deflects wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, but it does not directly determine wind direction.
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and ocean currents is known as the Coriolis effect. This phenomenon causes moving air and water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation.
A compass relies on Earth's magnetism to stay pointed north.
The Coriolis effect is the phenomenon that causes objects to be deflected in a curved path due to the rotation of the Earth. It influences the movement of air masses, ocean currents, and objects over long distances, leading to patterns such as the rotation of hurricanes and the direction of ocean currents.
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.

True north is the direction indicated by the Earth's axis of rotation, while magnetic north is the direction indicated by the compass needle. The arrowhead of a compass points towards magnetic north, not true north.
What property it uses depends on the type of compass. A magnetic compass uses magnetism. Some other compasses (which are more accurate) use the rotation of Earth itself.
Yes, a compass works by aligning itself with the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction. The needle in a compass is magnetized and will point towards the Earth's magnetic north pole.
