The formula to calculate the acceleration caused by the Coriolis term is: f=2*omega*sin(phi)*v
where:
-omega is the rotating speed of the Earth around its z-axis (= +/- 2pi radians per 86400 seconds)
-phi is the latitude
-v is the speed of the object.
The get it`s magnitude, simply multiply by the mass of the object.

Who discovered the coriolis force?
Mr Coriolis
What are the four factors that create wind?
The four factors are pressure gradiant force, coriolis force, friction force and gravity. Pressure gradient force move airs of higher pressure to lower pressure. Coriolis force prevents anything from moving in a straight line to earths oblate sphere. Friction rides the wind and without it air would travel parellel. Gravity because the power of gravity pulls air down.
Name four factors that influence contractile force and two that influence velocity and duration of contraction?
The four factors that influence contractile force are the number of muscle fibers stimulated, the relative size of the fibers, the frequency of stimulation and the degree of muscle stretch. Factors that influence the velocity and duration of contraction are the muscle fiber type, load and recruitment.
The earth's rotation influences currents by a force known as what?
Coriolis effect
What produces the strongest Coriolis force?
The fastest rotation of the smallest radius does.
What are the factors that influence the speed and direction of wind?
pressure of the area, relief and coriolis forse.
Who discovered the coriolis force?

What effect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The effect that a reduction in surface wind speed will have on the Coriolis force is to reduce the effect of the Coriolis force. Winds blowing at higher speeds are pulled on more by the Coriolis force, which somewhat alters the direction in which they blow.
How does earths rotation influence the movement of global winds?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.

What affect will a reduction in surface wind speed have on the Coriolis force?
The surface wind speed has no effect on the Coriolis Force. The Coriolis Force is dependant on the rotation of Earth that has the effect on surface wind and not the other way around
What two factors influence the force of gravity?
Mass and distance.
Does the Coriolis effect make a tornado start to rotate?
No. Tornadoes are too small for the Coriolis effect to influence them.
How does the rotation of the earth influence wind?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
How does the rotation of the earth influence the global wind?
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
What is the effects produced by a force on a body?
coriolis
What force is responsible for wind?
The Coriolis Effect
