{'northern hemisphere': [3, 0, 0, 2], 'winds': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'deflection': [1, 1, 0, 2], 'uneven heating': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'earth': [0, 1, 1, 1], 'rotation': [1, 0, 0, 2]}
The correct answer is option 2, rotation of the earth. The deflection of wind to the right in the northern hemisphere is caused by the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the rotation of the earth. As the earth rotates, the winds move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. However, due to the rotation of the earth, the winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere (and to the left in the southern hemisphere). This deflection is caused by the Coriolis force, which is a result of the earth`s rotation. The other options, revolution of the earth and uneven heating of the earth, are not directly responsible for the deflection of the winds.
