Could somebody please explain the Coriolis effect? Thank you! (also the subject is physical science but that wasn't an option so I just put physics)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Coriolis Effect makes things appear to move in a curve around our planet, like, for example, a plane. This is also due to the fact that our Earth is round, so nothing really moves in a straight line. It is "an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force (the Coriolis force ) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the axis of rotation."
