Earth is a giant spinning sphere, that revolves about its axis once in about 24 hours. That means if you were standing at the equator, you are spinning at a speed of 1,037 mph! But, because of the ...

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 ...

From spinning hurricanes to shifting ocean currents, the Coriolis effect explains why motion bends across the Earth. Here's ...

It does. The three ingredients needed for hurricane formation are warm oceans, light winds aloft and a sufficiently strong Coriolis effect, an apparent deflective force caused by the Earth’s rotation ...

Coriolis flowmeters have greatly facilitated the work of calculating the mass flow rate, density, and temperature of liquids and gases. Instrument readings are accurate in a single-phase medium, but ...
