How does the Coriolis effect change the path of the southward moving rocket?

The Coriolis effect causes moving objects, like a southward-moving rocket, to deflect to the west as it travels due to the Earth's rotation. This is because the Earth rotates from west to east, causing different points on its surface to move at varying velocities. As the rocket moves south, it retains its initial eastward speed, leading to a westward deviation in its trajectory. This effect must be accounted for in the rocket's guidance and navigation systems to ensure accurate targeting.
