1. causes prevailing winds to blow diagonally rather than along strict north-south and east-west directions
2. polar areas- 60 degrees N to 90 degrees N and 60 degrees to 90 degrees S. This is whenever the N or S hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. polar area gets continuous sun
3. cold and warm streams of water that move in the ocean. earth's rotation, changes in air pressure, and differences in water temp causes
