Which mechanism causes consistent trade winds between Hadley cells near the equator?

A)Coriolis effect deflection air masses
B)Latitudinal temperature gradient changes
C)Orographic lifting across coastal ranges
D)Seasonal shifts in solar intensity

💡 Explanation

When air flows toward the equator within the Hadley cells, the Coriolis effect deflects these air masses because the Earth rotates, creating persistent easterly trade winds. Therefore, the Coriolis effect results, rather than temperature gradients, lifting, or solar shifts which produce different wind patterns.
