The coriolis effect describes the earth spinning on its axis. This is best explained using a military example.
A sniper must take the coriolis effect into account when making long shots because as the bullet travels through the air, the earth spins beneath it leaving everything not in contact with the earth in the same spot it was in; making it seem like it curved slightly.
Compensation for this is incredibly complicated.
What else can I help you with?
The coriolis effect refers to a change in direction caused by?
the rotation of the Earth. As air or water moves across the Earth's surface, it gets deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. This effect influences global wind patterns, ocean currents, and weather systems.
At which location does the coriolis force have the least effect on wind?
The Coriolis effect has the least effect on winds in equatorial regions and the most effect on winds in polar regions. Coriolis effect deflects winds to the right of their initial direction in the northern hemisphere and left of their initial direction in the southern hemisphere.
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth's ocean?
Surface currents in the Earth's oceans are mainly caused by the combination of the wind and the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect). The wind pushes the surface water, creating movement, and the Coriolis effect deflects this movement to create currents.
What causes the coriolis?
The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the earth.
Are Winds are turned to the right in the Northern Hemisphere?
yes they are =^_^=
What apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth rotation?
Coriolis effect
What changes the direction of airflow and is caused by earths rotation?
The coriolis effect
The apparent shift wind direction that is caused by the earth's rotation?
Coriolis effect
The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earths rotation is called the?
Coriolis effect
The coriolis effect refers to a change in direction caused by?

The apparent shift in wind direction that is caused by the earth's rotation is called?
The apparent shift in wind direction caused by the Earth's rotation is known as the Coriolis effect. It causes objects in motion to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. It influences the direction of winds, ocean currents, and other moving objects on the Earth's surface.
What is the cause of global wind belts?
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
What causes the apparent change in the path of the pendulum?
The apparent change in the path of a pendulum is caused by the Coriolis force, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. As the pendulum swings, the Earth rotates beneath it, causing the pendulum's path to appear curved. This is known as the Coriolis effect, and it influences the direction of moving objects on Earth.
Is Coriolis effect caused by tornadoes?
No, the Coriolis effect is not caused by tornadoes. The Coriolis effect is a result of the Earth's rotation and causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Tornadoes, on the other hand, are rotating columns of air associated with severe thunderstorms.
What is the effect of earths rotations on the direction of winds and currents?
The Coriolis effect
What is the effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.?
Coriolis effect
What apparent curving of the paths of winds and ocean currents is the result of the rotation of the earth?
The apparent curving is known as the Coriolis effect. It causes moving air and water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation. This effect influences the direction of winds and ocean currents on a global scale.
