Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the Hadley cell circulation and the Coriolis effect involve movements of air masses, but in different directions. The Hadley cell circulation describes the movement of warm air from the equator to the poles in a North to South direction and the movement of cool air from the poles to the equator in a South to North direction. The Coriolis effect describes the way in which the Earth's rotation affects the movement of air masses, causing them to curve as they travel North or South, so that they appear to be moving East or West. Therefore, the best choice is B, north and south.
