Coriolis Effect (2 min 32 sec)
If not for the earth's rotation, winds and ocean currents would flow in the direction of initial movement. Because the earth spins, all free moving objects, including masses of air, are "deflected" from their original direction of motion. This is called the Coriolus effect.
