Which effect causes deflection of prevailing winds due to Earth's rotation?

💡 Explanation

When moving across a rotating sphere, objects follow a curved path because Earth's rotation induces a fictitious force perpendicular to the motion. Therefore, the Coriolis effect causes wind deflection instead of Doppler shift due to object motion, greenhouse trapping of heat, or albedo reflection of sunlight.
