How are the prevailing winds set up? A. Earth's rotation sets up a general circulation pattern from the equator to the poles. Uneven heating breaks it into six cells and deflects the surface winds.

I just need to know what the coriolis effect is
In physics, the Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when the motion is described relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the left of the motion of the object; in one with counter-clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the right.
