coriolis effect
The Coriolis effect is the phenomenon where moving objects (like wind) are deflected due to the Earth's rotation. In the Northern Hemisphere, it causes deflection to the right, and in the Southern Hemisphere, to the left. The Equator is an imaginary line around the Earth's middle, and convection is the transfer of heat through fluid movement (not related to this wind - deflection description).
