Which airflow deflection outcome occurs when air masses move poleward from the equator?

💡 Explanation

When air masses move poleward, the Coriolis effect occurs because the Earth's rotation deflects moving objects to the right (east) in the Northern Hemisphere; the opposite happens in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore an eastward deflection results in the Northern Hemisphere, rather than westward or symmetric deflections, which require different rotational effects.
