What is the name of the effect that causes air masses to move on a diagonal?
- Correct Answer: the coriolis effect
- aurora borealis
- polar effect
- the headwind effect
Explanation: Why do air masses move? Winds and jet streams push them along. Cold air masses tend to move toward the Equator. Warm air masses tend to move toward the poles. The Coriolis effect causes them to move on a diagonal. Many air masses move toward the northeast over the U. S. This is the same direction that global winds blow.
