Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Coriolis effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects (such as airplanes, wind, and ocean currents) when viewed from a rotating reference frame, in this case, Earth's rotation. This effect influences global air circulation patterns, causing them to twist to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, rather than moving in a straight path.
