Study the dashed arrows in the image. what causes the arrows to move in this direction? earth rotating air moving to the poles earth’s equator wind moving over short distances

The answer is;  earth’s rotation

The earth’s rotation causes a phenomenon called Coriolis effect. The lower latitudes spin at a relatively slower speed than the higher latitudes due to the globular nature of the planet. Therefore, wind and ocean currents are deflected more at the poles than the equoator.  

i think that is new experiments yield untrustworthy data and should be carefully considered, because you don't know what will happen with the experiments.
