Our weather is largely driven by a force that only exists due to our position on a rotating planet. Here's an experiment you ...

As you may have noticed while tracking a hurricane on the news, storms in the Northern Hemisphere spin counterclockwise, while those in the Southern Hemisphere spin clockwise. Why do storms spin in ...

Did you know that a hurricane or tropical storm has never crossed the equator? The reason behind this fascinating phenomenon lies in a meteorological principle related to the rotation of the Earth: ...

This one takes some explanation, and it's okay if it doesn't make sense at first. We'll be covering some basic physics principles to answer this week's question. First, picture this. The Earth, of ...

Round and round they go. Dog owners of Brevard, listen up: Hank Brandli of Melbourne and I need your help in an international, seat-of-the-pants, not-so-scientific experiment about how your mutt gets ...

ABSTRACT The Coriolis force, named after French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), has traditionally been derived as a matter of coordinate transformation by an essentially ...

During Sunday's Superb Owl, there were some great tweets looking at science with some type of connection to football. Here is one that got me thinking: A 50-yard field goal in MetLife stadium will ...

When multi-joint reaching movements are made within a rotating reference frame, additional interaction torques are generated in the form of Coriolis forces. Coriolis forces are a function of the cross ...

Why do storms spin one way in the Northern Hemisphere and the opposite way in the Southern Hemisphere? The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, has surprising effects on weather patterns and ...

The Coriolis Effect is an invisible force...kind of. It is responsible for the vast majority of weather on earth, but the ...
