As an air mass moves from the North Pole toward the equator, the Coriolis effect causes it to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This deflection results in the air mass moving in a more curved path rather than a straight line. Consequently, instead of moving directly southward, the air mass will follow a path that veers eastward. This effect is crucial in the formation of wind patterns and weather systems.
