As you may or may not know, there are areas of high and low pressure all over the Earth. Just as water moves from high to low concentration in osmosis, air moves from high pressure to low pressure. This movement is called wind.
Wind is caused on the Earth because of the Sun. The Sun heats up the mantle of the Earth and this makes the warmer air rise above the cooler air. This causes a space that needs to be replaced. Cooler air rushes in to replace this void and "Wind" occurs. Wind is caused also by the same cooling pattern by taking the warmer air around the equator and moving it towards the poles, usually in the form of tropical storms or hurricanes and taking this heat and transferring it to cooler regions.
The arrows on a globe indicating wind direction curve due to the Coriolis effect, which arises from the Earth's rotation. As air moves from high to low-pressure areas, the rotation causes winds in the Northern Hemisphere to curve to the right and those in the Southern Hemisphere to curve to the left. This curvature alters the direct path of the wind, resulting in the characteristic curved arrows seen on weather maps.
Its the Coriolis effect. In fact, the wind is trying to blow straight and the earth is turning under it in a circular motion. The resulting path of the wind on the earth is a curved line.
The Coriolis effect causes winds to curve due to the rotation of the Earth. As air moves from high pressure to low pressure, it deflects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection creates the curved patterns we observe in wind movements.
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.
Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.

Earths rapid rotation and gravity interact to cause wind.
Coriolis effect
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.
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.

Thhe coriolis effect.
The rotation of the earth results in what is known as the Coriolus Effect.
