Naturally, the shortest distance between two points is a curved line due to gravity etc, and the latter shaping the universe, and thus the path something would take while trying to travel in a straight line. That being said...it won't have the same effect on air. Air has no speed. It's there, and simply moves from a high pressure cell to a low pressure cell through osmosis. So depending on where that is, depends on how it will move so it really has no other reason than that...and not really an astronomy question due to that.

What makes global winds curve?

Global winds curve due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, global winds are deflected to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they are deflected to the left. This deflection results in the curved paths of global winds around the Earth.


What is it called when winds curve?

When winds curve due to the Earth's rotation, it is called the Coriolis effect. This effect causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

What is the name of the effect that causes wind to spin around large pressure areas?

The name of the effect is called the Coriolis effect. It causes winds to curve rather than moving in a straight line due to the rotation of the Earth.


What causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve at the right as they move?

The Coriolis effect causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve to the right. This effect is due to the rotation of the Earth and causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
