Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Coriolis effect, a product of Earth's rotation, causes winds to rotate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer: D
 Air moves from regions of high pressure to regions of low pressure, and temperature differences play a significant role in creating areas of high and low pressure. Generally, air flows from warmer regions to cooler regions, leading to winds carrying heat away from the Equator toward the poles.
