Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface?

The Coriolis effect causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the Earth's surface. This effect is the result of the Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

What causes winds to appear to turn on the earth's surface?

On Earth, winds are created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects the moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection causes winds to appear to turn as they travel across the Earth's surface.

What causes winds to appear on earth's surface?

The difference in temperature in air causes movement as warm air rises and cold air sinks. The Earth's rotation also has a small affect.


What causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth surface?

The warmth of the Sun creates temperature differences that change the direction of the wind.
