Earth is a giant spinning sphere, that revolves about its axis once in about 24 hours. That means if you were standing at the equator, you are spinning at a speed of 1,037 mph! But, because of the ...

The cosmos loves irony. While trying to prove that the Earth is fixed in space, an Italian priest described something similar to the Coriolis effect – the slight deflection experienced by objects ...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - First to bust a long-standing myth: The rotation of the earth and the Coriolis effect have no impact on what direction your toilet or swimming pool drains. They do, however, ...

Hurricanes, also known as typhoons or cyclones, cannot cross the Equator due to the Coriolis effect. This phenomenon, caused by Earth's rotation, produces a force that is too weak at the Equator to ...

Coriolis mass flow measurement is a sophisticated technique that utilises the dynamic interaction between vibrating tubes and the Coriolis force to directly determine the mass flow and density of a ...
