Due to the motion of the earth’s rotation, the winds get deflected. This is called the Coriolis force and the effect of this force is called the Coriolis effect. Due to this effect, the wind gets deflected towards its right in the northern hemisphere and towards its left in the southern hemisphere. This effect was proved by a scientist called Ferrel, so it is also called FerreTs law.
