Which phenomenon causes deflection apparent along trade routes?

💡 Explanation

Trade winds deflect because the Coriolis effect causes moving air to curve due to Earth's rotation. Therefore, wind patterns are skewed, rather than air flowing directly from high to low pressure as they otherwise would.
