Which outcome regarding air masses results because of the Coriolis effect?

💡 Explanation

Air masses deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the apparent Coriolis effect that results from Earth's rotation; therefore air circulation patterns shift, rather than moving directly north or south.
