If Earth did not rotate, the winds would appear to flow in a straight path. However, because of Earth’s rotation, the winds appear to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Right and left are relative to the wind’s starting location.

Temperature difference between two places Crete a pressure difference. This pressure difference causes air movement (wind). Cordial is force deflects these winds; to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
