2. An effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force
(Coriolis force) acting perpendicular to the direction of motion and to the
axis of rotation. On the earth, the effect tends to deflect moving objects to
the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern and is
important in the formation of cyclonic weather systems
3. Gustave Gaspard Coriolis
(1792-1843).
Using just a pen, paper and
mathematics, he figured out why the
wind turns, curves, and goes around
in circles.
Then named his resulting discovery
the Coriolis effect

Video Games Such As Battlefield 2 & 3 and the Call

Although the rotation of the earth is the main
reason bullets curve in air.
humidity and wind speed play heavy into
account aswell.
