The Action of the Coriolis Force

Storyboard

Whenever an object moves in a straight line at a constant speed from a rotating frame of reference (such as the surface of the Earth), it appears to undergo a curved motion. This phenomenon can be modeled by introducing a fictitious force known as the Coriolis force. This force helps us understand various movements observed in the oceans and atmosphere.
