Ocean & Atmosphere - Coriolis Effect, Part I Posted by: scxq28
Video duration: 594 seconds In this segment, we explore the oft-misunderstood Coriolis effect, the apparent deflection of moving objects due to the rotation of the Earth beneath them. It's not true that toilets in the southern hemisphere spin in the opposite direction as toilets in the northern hemisphere and here we'll find out why. Related: coriolis, meteorology, ocean, oceanography, world |
