Coriolis force describes an apparent force that is due to the rotation of the earth. (From my meteorolgy textbook)
It's called Coriolis force.
If the elevator accelerates, the acceleration will provide an additional apparent force.
The Coriolis effect is the name given to the force of the Earth's rotation that mainly affects air flow. It causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
No. Just the opposite. The earth's rotation is slowing down because of the gravitational force between the earth and the moon. The day is getting longer by something like a millisecond (0.001 second) every hundred years.
The diameter at the equator is larger, by about 1/300, than the diameter from pole to pole. This can be considered a result of the so-called centrifugal force (a ficticious force, but it makes many explanations simpler).
Centrifugal force.
I think you mean the centrifugal force. That force points outwards from the center of rotation.
Yes, that's basically what causes tides. ===================== And the moon. Lets not forget its role.
earths rotation around the sun

Centrifugal force is the force created by rotating bodies that pushes objects outward from the center of rotation. It acts in the opposite direction of centripetal force, which pulls objects toward the center of rotation.
The Coriolis effect is the name given to the force of the Earth's rotation that mainly affects air flow. It causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
The main driving force is wind, but it is also affected by the earths rotation, solar energies, and gravity.
Centrifugal force is not a real force, but rather an apparent outward force that arises in a rotating reference frame. It is a result of inertia and is experienced by objects moving in a circular path due to their inertia trying to move in a straight line, away from the center of rotation.
The (centripital) force due to rotation is at its greatest at the equator, if you weigh 100 kg, the force of gravity on you = approx. 982 n anywhere on earths surface, the centripetal force at the equator = 3.4 n
