how global wind patterns such as the trade winds in the northern hemisphere would be impacted in the absence of the Coriolis Effect.

Respuesta :

If not for the Earth's rotation, global winds would blow in straight north-south lines. ... The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. The exception is with low pressure systems.
