Hurricanes wreak havoc in various parts of the world. However, it's a curious fact that they very rarely approach the equator ...

The Science Behind HurricanesNature's Fury Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones or typhoons depending on the region, are formidable natural ...
Here's a quick video on the Coriolis effect!
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 ...
If so, you could have detected the Coriolis effect, but to be sure you need to let the water stand for at least a day. You can read more further down this page about how US and Australian ...
If Earth stopped spinning, gravity would remain essentially the same, but the Coriolis effect would cease, causing air to travel in straight lines rather than forming cyclonic systems like hurricanes.
The vibrational motion transverse to excited beam motion can then be used to determine the Coriolis component of acceleration, and therefore ω.
Cyclone Alfred barrels towards Queensland, bringing fierce winds, heavy rain, and storm surges. Its unusual path sparks ...
Wind moves the surface waters by friction, but away from the equator the Coriolis effect means this is diverted, to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left south of the equator ...
The video below shows four future ME 274 students playing on a merry-go-round with a ball. The video is split between two views: one from a stationary observer looking down from above, and the other ...
