What is the coriolis effect?
2
Answers
The coriolis effect is an apparent force resulting from differing speeds of Earth's surface as it spins. The closer to the equator a point is, the faster it will move. Because of the speed difference, an object moving north or south and not on the surface will move east or west as well.
