Which pattern results from combined Hadley cell circulation and the Coriolis effect on global wind directions?

💡 Explanation

When air moves poleward from the subtropical high-pressure zones within Hadley cells, the Coriolis effect deflects it, because Earth rotates, resulting in the prevailing westerlies in mid-latitudes. Therefore a deflection occurs rather than temperature changes, ozone thinning, or El Niño, which are driven by unrelated mechanisms.
