Which outcome results from Earth's rotation altering prevailing winds' direction?

💡 Explanation

Wind deflection occurs on a rotating Earth because the Coriolis effect causes moving air to curve; therefore wind trajectories are altered rather than traveling in a straight line, because the observer is also rotating.
