What is the corilois effect?

Answer 1

The Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when they are viewed from a rotating frame of reference.

Give this a try, take a ball and go to you local playground and see if there is a roundabout. First with the roundabout still role the ball across the base. you will see it travels in a straight line. Now spin the roundabout slowly and role the ball across the base again and you will see that it now travels in a curve.

On earth the spin of the planet affects fluids traveling north or south from the equator to the poles and the coriolis force causes the fluids to appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer 2

The Coriolis effect is the apparent curved motion a moving object undergoes when its motion is viewed from a rotating frame of reference. If an object is moving in a straight line when viewed from a stationary frame of reference then it will appear to move along a curved path when viewed from a rotating frame of reference. The degree of curvature will depend on the speed and direction of the moving object.

Answer 3

The effect results from the apparent (but not actual) movement of one object moving on another which is rotating. Imagine a ball on a disc, the ball moves to the edge and the disc rotates. If you stood on the disc as it rotated you would see the ball roll towards the edge. But from off the disc it would appear as though the ball is following a curved trajectory.

Answer 4

It's the Coriolis Effect, not Corlolis- it is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame acting in a clockwise motion, the force acts on motion to the left of the object, whereas in an anticlockwise motion it acts to the right of the object. The effect upon matter that is deflected as a result of this, is known as the Coriolis Effect. It can be seen particularly clearly in the way that wind patterns move across the face of the earth, and move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere by anticlockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
