The Coriolis effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects caused by the Earth’s rotation. In the Northern Hemisphere, this effect causes moving air and water to turn right, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they turn left. This effect influences weather patterns by affecting the direction of trade winds, ocean currents, and storm systems, contributing to the formation of cyclones and anticyclones.
