Answer:

Explanation:Weather Patterns

In the Southern Hemisphere, currents are deflected to the left. As a result, storm systems seem to rotate clockwise. Outside storm systems, the impact of the Coriolis effect helps define regular wind patterns around the globe. As warm air rises near the Equator, for instance, it flows toward the poles.
