Which atmospheric stream behavior results from Earth's rotation effects?

💡 Explanation

The Coriolis effect causes deflection in moving air masses, because a point on Earth's surface moves faster at the equator than the poles; therefore, the jet streams deflect, rather than exhibiting straight north-south flow.
