The Coriolis force is required for a cyclone to form into a tropical cyclone or hurricane. The force causes a greater deflection of the air (right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern) and the correct speeds for the tropical cyclone to form.
Hence why tropical cyclones do not form at or within 5 degrees of the equator, and cease to exist at around 35 degrees north, or 15 degrees south.

How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How does the Coriolis effect modify air movement?
how does force affect the movement
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
Why did Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect?
his name was coriolis ,so coriolis effect.
A sentence with coriolis effect?
i learned Coriolis effect in school.
How does Coriolis Effect affect ocean circulation?
the Coriolis Effect affect ocean circulation because weather movement are rotating with the earth.
How does Coriolis Effect affect currents?
Currents don't affect the Coriolis Effect, the Coriolis Effect is the one who affects the currents. Currents in the Northern Hemisphere bend to the left and currents in the Southern Hemisphere bend to the right.
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How does the coriolis effect affect surface currents?
By, instead of a straight current, makes the current curved due to the Coriolis Effect.
The apparent curving of the winds is called?
the Coriolis effect
What happens if a cyclone crosses the equator?
This is impossible. A cyclone cannot cross the equator. The reason why this cannot happen is because the Coriolis Force reduces to almost nothing at the equator. The effect on a cyclone would be to cause it to dissipate.
How does the Coriolis effect modify air movement?
how does force affect the movement
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
Why did Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect?
his name was coriolis ,so coriolis effect.
How does air pressure help create a cyclone?
A cyclone is a low pressure system. The low pressure draws air inward while the Coriolis effect causes the inflowing air to set the system rotating.
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
A sentence with coriolis effect?
