Define the Coriolis effect. Which direction does Coriolis deflect winds? What does the word
  apparent mean in the definition? What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

How does air flow with regard to air pressure? How would air flow on Earth if the planet didn't rotate?
  How does air flow since it does rotate? What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The Coriolis effect is the apparent deflection of a moving object from its anticipated course because of
Earth's rotation. Winds and ocean currents are deflected clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and
counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Apparent means that the air or water is moving in a
straight line, but the planet is rotating beneath them so that the current appears to curve as it moves.

Answer to Question 2

Air flows from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. If Earth did not rotate, air would flow in a
straight line from high to low pressure. Because Earth rotates, winds are deflected to the right of their
direction of motion
