Step-by-step explanation:

The Coriolis effect happens when an entity is perceived from a moving reference frame going in a straight path. The changing reference frame makes the object appear as if it were moving along a curved road.

Circulation is counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Circulation is clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and it is the equator, it is straight down without circulation.
