Which prevailing wind effect results from the interaction of subtropical high-pressure zones and Earth's rotation?

💡 Explanation

When subtropical high-pressure zones combine with Earth’s rotation, the Coriolis effect deflects winds. This deflection causes air to move towards the equator. This results in consistent easterly trade winds toward the equator, rather than other phenomena requiring different pressure and temperature gradients.
