Which effect explains deflection of trade winds due to the Earth's spin?

💡 Explanation

When moving across a rotating frame, the Coriolis force deflects wind because the earth's rotation changes the observed trajectory relative to a non-rotating frame. Therefore, the Coriolis deflection force results rather than Hadley cell, ITCZ, or Ekman spiral effects which involve different atmospheric and oceanic mechanisms.
