The Coriolis effect caused by the rotation of the Earth is responsible for the precession of a Foucault pendulum and for the direction of rotation of cyclones. In general, the effect deflects ...

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 ...

The self-serve, pay-as-you-go tap room has arrived in the high country. Why it matters: Beer tastes better sitting outside on ...

Our respondents are quick to point out the issues with using Earth’s rotation to get to a destination, not least the ...

Ever wonder why storms spin one way in the north and the other in the south? Meet the Coriolis Effect—nature’s invisible twist.

AbstractIn 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 ...

The Coriolis effect, which suggests water drains clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation, is insignificant in toilet flushes ...

The Coriolis effect is legitimately responsible for the behavior of some natural phenomena, like hurricanes, that meterologists and physical oceanographers like the two of us study. But in domestic ...

Do snipers need to take in to account the Coriolis effect when taking a shot? Plus: what happens if you pee on an electric fence?; and can babies breathe underwater?
