Generation

The Coriolis effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects (like air or water) caused by Earth's rotation. Because Earth rotates faster at the equator than near the poles, objects moving north or south don't travel in straight lines relative to the ground—they curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect is crucial for understanding large-scale wind patterns and ocean currents, and it's why hurricanes spin counterclockwise in the north and clockwise in the south. The key insight is that the deflection isn't a real force pushing on the object, but rather a consequence of observing motion from our rotating reference frame on Earth's surface.
