The Coriolis effect happens because of the Earth’s rotation. This force makes things travel in a curve rather than a straight line. In the northern hemisphere, things deflect to the right, and in the ...

As you may have noticed while tracking a hurricane on the news, storms in the Northern Hemisphere spin counterclockwise, while those in the Southern Hemisphere spin clockwise. Why do storms spin in ...

The Corilis effect is an apparent force exherted on any moving object on the face of the earth. In the northern hemisphere, it causes moving objects from artillery shells to airplanes and winds to ...

It affects ocean currents, weather patterns, and even the direction planes fly. The Coriolis effect has real impacts, but it’s actually just an “apparent force” that causes moving objects to be ...

MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — The Coriolis effect is the apparent acceleration of a moving body on or near the Earth as a result of the Earth’s rotation. In short terms, it is the movement of an air mass due ...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season is shaping up to be incredibly active with the fifth-named storm making landfall in early July (hurricane season runs through November). We're ...

In Coriolis flow meters, Coriolis force is generated when fluid flows through a vibrating steel tube. This force causes the tube to twist, and the twist increases as flow rate increases, which is hard ...

In honor of World Ocean Day, June 8th, we’re resurfacing a few features celebrating some of the many ways in which the ocean connects us as surfers. To picture the Coriolis effect, imagine two kids ...

Our weather is largely driven by a force that only exists due to our position on a rotating planet. Here's an experiment you can do with your kids to show the Coriolis effect in action. Windows 10 ...
