Answer
If the earth did not rotate on its axis, winds would follow the direction of the pressure gradient. Instead, Earth's rotation produces a force which tends to turn the flow of air. This force is called the Coriolis Force. It results in the deflection of air towards the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
