Alex Foster, the author of the latest read for the New Scientist Book Club, Circular Motion, on imagining a world that is ...

What causes hurricanes, oceans, and even wind to move in unique patterns? ️ Discover the Coriolis effect, a force influenced by Earth's rotation that shapes how we experience the world. We break ...

From spinning hurricanes to shifting ocean currents, the Coriolis effect explains why motion bends across the Earth. Here's ...

At the equator, however, the Coriolis force is essentially zero, making it impossible for a tropical system to cross over from one hemisphere to another.

An atmospheric force known as the Coriolis Effect prevents hurricanes from crossing the equator. As NASA stated: The Coriolis force results from the Earth’s spherical shape and its rotation. The ...

In parallel, investigations into the performance of Coriolis meters in carbon dioxide-rich mixtures have verified that, through detailed modelling and advanced signal processing, measurement ...

Solar physicists have revealed how swirling plasma flows around sunspots 1, sculpted by the same Coriolis force that drives Earth's weather systems, shape the Sun’s rotation just beneath its ...

Earth’s rotation also creates a Coriolis force that would disturb the liquid mirror if it ever became larger than about 26 feet (8 m) across, Balaban tells Astronomy.
