Final answer:

The Coriolis effect impacts air direction on Earth, leading to the formation of cells like the Hadley cell that influence wind patterns.


Explanation:

A. The Coriolis effect causes air masses to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere as they travel across the globe due to the Earth's rotation.

B. One convection cell that forms because of the Coriolis effect is the Hadley cell.

C. In the Hadley cell, air rises near the equator, moves towards the poles at high altitudes, sinks near 30° latitude, and returns towards the equator near the surface, creating the trade winds.
