It is due to the earth's rotation.

Bohr^ wrong. Werner Heisenberg/ Erwin Shrodinger did.So who did, Bohr or Schrodinger and Heisenberg?
Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.
Proper length in physics is the invariant measure of a distance between to separated events. It is considered as the ideal length in a space-time of space-like paths.
Movement along a curved surface typically involves the concept of "curvilinear motion." This type of motion occurs when an object moves along a path that is not straight, following a curved trajectory, such as a roller coaster or a car turning on a curved road. In physics, this can also relate to concepts of angular motion and centripetal force, which govern how objects behave when they travel along curved paths.
It causes the currents to move in curved paths instead of going in a straight line, which is known a the Coriolis effect.
Wind and surface currents appear to move in curved paths primarily due to the Coriolis effect, which is the result of the Earth's rotation. As air and water move across the rotating planet, they are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection causes currents to follow curved trajectories rather than straight lines. Additionally, factors such as the shape of coastlines and the distribution of landmasses can further influence the direction of these currents.
The Coriolis force, a result of the earth's rotation, causes wind to follow a curved path over the earth's surface. As air moves across the rotating earth, its direction is deflected, causing winds to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This causes the curved paths of winds commonly observed on the earth's surface.
Yes, gradient winds flow along curved paths due to the balance between the pressure gradient force and the Coriolis force. This results in the wind direction changing with height above the Earth's surface.
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
The curved paths followed by balls B and C are examples of projectile motion, where an object is launched into the air and moves under the influence of gravity.

Because of the Coriolis Effect
Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This creates the circular patterns of surface currents in the oceans known as gyres. These gyres help transport heat and nutrients around the planet, influencing global climate and marine ecosystems.

The scientific term for the apparent curved motion of moving objects is called "Coriolis effect." It is caused by the rotation of the Earth and can affect the paths of objects moving across its surface.
