Earth's rotation shapes the direction that winds blow is called as Coriolis effect

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Coriolis effect is a kind of force that acts on a mass by using a inertial force.
  • When earth rotates in its axis, the air that covers the earth also flows in a direction which is mainly caused by Coriolis effect.
  • When the difference between pressure increases,wind flow becomes strong.
  • This force acts at right angle of direction to pressure gradient force,which causes movement of wind in northern hemisphere and left in southern direction.
  • During low pressure, the wind flows in a clock wise manner and during high pressure, it moves in anti clock wise manner.
