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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
