Final answer:

The Coriolis effect causes air masses moving from the North Pole towards the equator to bend eastward due to Earth's rotation.


Explanation:

The Coriolis effect affects the direction of air masses in the Northern Hemisphere as they move from the North Pole towards the equator. Due to Earth's rotation, these air masses bend to the right, or eastward, rather than moving in a straight line. This is a result of the Coriolis force caused by the Earth's angular momentum conservation.
