What effect does the Coriolus effect have on wind direction in the Southern Hemisphere? - correct answer The air is deflected to the left because the Earth rotates from west to east. 
 
What region in the Southern Hemisphere is this most evident and what direction does the wind change to? - correct answer Wind from the sub-tropical ridge is deflected to a south-easterly flow towards the equatorial trough. This is called the South-East trade winds.
