Which effect causes deflection of air masses, resulting in the formation of global wind patterns?

💡 Explanation

When the Earth rotates, the Coriolis effect occurs because points at different latitudes have different velocities, deflecting moving objects like air masses to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, air masses deflection results, rather than circulation cells, albedo changes, or heat absorption which depend on the mechanism of thermal gradients.
