Question

which statement best describes local winds?
○ they move over short distances.
○ they curve due to the coriolis effect.
○ they flow steadily from different directions.
○ they blow from the poles toward the equator.

Explanation:

Local winds are characterized by their movement over short distances. The Coriolis effect mainly affects global - scale winds (not local ones). Winds that flow steadily from different directions are more related to global wind patterns. Winds blowing from the poles toward the equator are part of the global atmospheric circulation (polar easterlies etc., which are not local winds).

Answer:

They move over short distances.
