Explain how the uneven solar heating of the Earth causes air circulation in the atmosphere?
and what are the effects of the Coriolis force on air circulation
The Coriolis effect cause air to move to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. Uneven heating is caused because the earth is tilted on its axis and the shape of it. Uneven heating of the earth causes there to be three wind belts in each hemisphere, the Ferrel Cell, the Hadley Cell and the Polar Cell. These are caused by air moving from areas of low pressure and high pressure which are formed by uneven heating.

Hot air rises at the equator, but the spin of the earth makes it into wind, simple enough?
p.s. cold air sinks, repeat.

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. Seriously though, convection.
