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 ...

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 ...

Despite what you may have heard, it doesn’t make water go down the drain one direction or the other. But it does have an effect: The Coriolis Effect can turn ships off course and change the weather. I ...

The idea that the Coriolis force influences how water drains frequently appears in popular culture and urban legends. frantic00 / Shutterstock In countries near the Earth’s equator, tourists are often ...

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.

Coriolis mass flow measurement is a sophisticated technique that utilises the dynamic interaction between vibrating tubes and the Coriolis force to directly determine the mass flow and density of a ...

Growing up, I heard innumerable times about the Coriolis effect. I wager you did, too. Due to the Earth’s rotation, it suggests, water draining from a flushed toilet swirls clockwise in the Northern ...

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 ...
