Coriolis Effect results from earth's rotation causing freely moving objects to apparently veer toward the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. It affects things like wind, ocean currents, airplanes, and other moving objects which are not influenced by other outside forces.

As to where Coriolis Force is experienced, the effect is greatest at the poles and least at the equator.

Why did Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect?

Gaspard Gustave Coriolis named his invention the Coriolis effect after himself because he was the first to mathematically describe the phenomenon in fluid dynamics. His work on the effect, which explains the deflection of moving objects on a rotating planet, has since become a fundamental concept in meteorology and oceanography.

What would happen without the coriolis effect?

Without the Coriolis effect, winds would move in a straight line from high pressure to low pressure areas, rather than being deflected as seen on Earth's surface. This effect is crucial in shaping global wind patterns and ocean currents, impacting weather systems and climate around the world.
