When multi-joint reaching movements are made within a rotating reference frame, additional interaction torques are generated in the form of Coriolis forces. Coriolis forces are a function of the cross ...

Most of our weather comes from a force that doesn't actually exist. It just looks that way because we're standing on a rotating, spherical planet. You may have even heard of the coriolis effect before ...

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 ...

Did you know that a hurricane or tropical storm has never crossed the equator? The reason behind this fascinating phenomenon lies in a meteorological principle related to the rotation of the Earth: ...

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 ...

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 ...

More than 900 people are dead, thousands more missing and millions affected by a band of cyclones and extreme monsoonal ...

ABSTRACT The Coriolis force, named after French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), has traditionally been derived as a matter of coordinate transformation by an essentially ...

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 ...

Greg Kestin: What's going on here? Every time I throw the ball straight, it seems to bend to the side. No matter what I throw, no matter how straight I throw it, the ball seems to be curving. Maybe it ...
