True
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the Earth's rotation is called the?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
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.
The Coriolis effect
Wind flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. The Coriolis effect influences wind direction by deflecting its path to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere.
Coriolis effect
It's called the 'coriolis' effect.
Coriolis effect
There is no wind direction, the wind is reported as "calm".

Earths rapid rotation and gravity interact to cause wind.
