Which overall effect results when equatorial air masses experience differential rotational speeds?

💡 Explanation

Differential rotational speeds cause the air to deflect due to the Coriolis effect, creating distinct global wind patterns; therefore, air deflects rather than rising uniformly, because the Earth’s spin modulates these movements.
