Which effect primarily drives the deflection of large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns?

💡 Explanation

When air masses move across the rotating Earth, the Coriolis effect, arising because of Earth's rotation, deflects their path due to the difference in tangential velocity at different latitudes. Therefore, the Coriolis effect results in deflection, rather than temperature changes, frequency shifts, or radiant energy trapping which involve different mechanisms.
