The correct answer is letter D, the deflection of winds from heading due north or south. The coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation and it may also affect weather patterns and ocean currents around the globe. It can also have the ability to change the movement of storms where it swirls clockwise in the Southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Northern hemisphere.
