Which phenomenon causes the observed Coriolis effect on global weather patterns?

💡 Explanation

When air masses move across latitudes, the Conservation of Angular Momentum dictates rotating bodies velocities altering the motion relative to Earth's surface, generating the Coriolis effect. This effect impacts air masses trajectories direction and overall weather patterns. Therefore, conservation of angular momentum explains the apparent deflection, over differing solar heating or magnetic field variations.
