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 ...

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is used in everything from agriculture to pharmaceuticals, but the most common way of manufacturing this everyday chemical presents a tricky measurement challenge, because it ...

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 ...

This one takes some explanation, and it's okay if it doesn't make sense at first. We'll be covering some basic physics principles to answer this week's question. First, picture this. The Earth, of ...
