Which mechanism deflects air masses to the right in the northern hemisphere?

💡 Explanation

Due to Earth's rotation, the Coriolis Effect causes moving air masses to be deflected because of the change in frame of reference, thereby altering patterns of the wind which initially arose from pressure and temperature gradients.. Therefore, divergence arises, rather than convergence, subsidence, or advection, because those are driven by temperature or pressure gradients absent rotation.
