Which geographic phenomenon results from the Coriolis effect acting on large-scale atmospheric circulation?

💡 Explanation

When air masses move across latitudes experiencing different rotational speeds, the Coriolis effect causes deflection because of Earth's rotation influencing prevailing winds, creating distinct patterns. Therefore, trade winds are deflected, rather than rain shadows, coastal upwelling, or thermal inversions, which are caused by different specific mechanisms.
