You've totally misunderstood the effect, the air doesn't get "dragged"
along by the earths rotation it's part of the earth.
Bull****.
The surface of the Earth exerts a frictional drag on the air blowing
just above it. This friction can act to change the wind's direction and
slow it down -- keeping it from blowing as fast as the wind aloft. A
difference in terrain conditions directly affects how much friction is
exerted. For example, a calm ocean surface is pretty smooth, so the wind
blowing over it does not move up, down, and around any features. By
contrast, hills and forests force the wind to slow down and/or change
direction much more.
The effect is when air is rotating vertically & horizontally at the
same time, (it rises as a direct result of the sun's heat, then it cools
& sinks in a cooler part of the earth,
The effect of what? Try writing in standard English. Are you referring
to the Coriolis effect? If so, there are a million accurate descriptions
of that around, so there is no need for you to find one and rewrite it
into your usual non-parsing nonsense.
that direct route from say the
equator to the poles appears to be deflected to the west because the
earth rotates underneath. The atmosphere at exteme altitudes does
migrate generally in a westerly direction at about 25 mph, but this is
well above "surface weather"
Good grief...just lift the stuff, don't try to rewrite it, eh? You can't
write.
Sorry atl man, but at least you tried & that takes more guts than the
liar Harry has.

Can't leave it alone, eh, butch?
Let me put it in terms you will surely understand.
Anyone who has even social intercourse with you is at risk of
contracting a disease. You are the loser's loser, Karen.
You ought to be taken out and hung for the cold-blooded murder of the
English tongue. Did you even complete the 8th grade?

After a million years, the air is moving at the same speed as the earth.
All the inertia. solar is probably 99.9% of the wind cause. The differences
in surface features will redirect the winds, but mostly solar. One of the
hypothesis of the Woolly Mammoth die off, was a small meteor strike and a
wobble of the earth. The resulting several hundred mile an hour winds with
shade, caused a huge wind chill, flash freezing the mammoths. They are
found popping out of glaciers with subtropical flowers in their teeth and
undigested food in the gut. They are large enough that unless there was
massive chilling the stomachs would have finished digesting the food.
