Which phenomenon causes deflection apparent along trade routes?

💡 Explanation

Trade winds deflect because the Coriolis effect causes moving air to curve due to Earth's rotation. Therefore, wind patterns are skewed, rather than air flowing directly from high to low pressure as they otherwise would.

• Which mechanism causes sea stack collapse accelerated by groundwater?
• Which outcome changes stalactite isotopic ratios due to precipitation?
• Which downstream effect of prolonged high-volume flows typically initiates alluvial fan stream incision?
