Which large-scale effect does the Coriolis effect primarily have on atmospheric jet streams in the northern hemisphere?

💡 Explanation

When air masses are forced north or south due to pressure gradients or the Hadley Cells, The Coriolis effect deflects air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because Earth’s rotation curves the winds trajectory. Therefore deflection to the right results, rather than changes in pressure, speed, or gradients, which depend upon other factors.
