Coriolis Effect

Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds

Prevailing winds are winds that blow from a single direction over a specific area of the Earth. Areas where prevailing winds meet are called convergence zones. Generally, prevailing winds blow east west rather than north south. This happens because Earth's rotation generates what is known as the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect makes wind systems twist counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
