The Coriolis Effect is an invisible force...kind of. It is responsible for the vast majority of weather on earth, but the force doesn't actually exist. Still, we can see it on a merry-go-round.

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 ...

Why do storms spin one way in the Northern Hemisphere and the opposite way in the Southern Hemisphere? The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, has surprising effects on weather patterns and ...

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 ...

That hurricanes do not cross the equator is a claim that has spread online for years, and that’s because the concept on which this idea is based – the Coriolis Effect – is a complex one. Earth's ...

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 ...

Looking at a newborn baby is such a powerful moment for parents—the huge, overwhelming swell of love, the first feelings of fierce protectiveness, the onset of the terrifying responsibility. They feel ...

Ocean currents driven by wind, water density, tides, ocean floor features, or the Coriolis effect, have an important role on climate regulation and marine ecology. In turn, increasing water surface ...

Our weather is largely driven by a force that only exists due to our position on a rotating planet. Here's an experiment you ...
