The Coriolis effect causes moving objects, including air masses, to deflect due to the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, this deflection is to the right of the direction of motion, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it is to the left. This phenomenon affects weather patterns and ocean currents, influencing their paths and behaviors. The Coriolis effect is most pronounced at larger scales, such as in cyclones and trade winds.
