The Coriolis Effect


What causes this winds to move in sideward way?

Sideward wind movement is often caused by the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. This effect causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, the pressure gradient between high and low pressure systems can also influence the direction and speed of wind movement.


Why do upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west?

Upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west due to the combination of the Coriolis effect and pressure gradients. The Coriolis effect causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, which, combined with pressure gradients created by the temperature difference between the equator and poles, results in westerly winds at the upper levels of the atmosphere.

Which deflects winds to the west or east?

The Coriolis effect deflects winds; it makes winds in the Northern Hemisphere deflect to the right (east) and winds in the Southern Hemisphere deflect to the left (west).


What are trading winds?

You mean trade winds. And they are winds that normally blow in the same direction on a regular basis.


Is the phase when the winds blow a personification a alliteration a hyperbole or a metaphor?

The phase "winds blow" is a personification because it attributes human-like qualities (the ability to blow) to the winds. It is not alliteration, hyperbole, or a metaphor.
