Transcribed Text:

North of the Equator, the Coriolis force acts to the right, causing the air’s trajectory to become more westerly.

In late Spring, the zone of convergence moves north over the hot Indian subcontinent, allowing the northward flowing air to cross the equator.

Air flowing northward away from the southern hemisphere subtropics is deflected to the left by the Coriolis force.
