Which displacement occurs on southbound trans-polar flights due to atmospheric dynamics?

💡 Explanation

A southbound flight experiences easterly deflection because the Coriolis effect acts perpendicular to the aircraft’s motion due to Earth’s rotation, therefore deflecting it eastward; and due to conservation of angular momentum, rather than west as air masses are shifted.
