In physics, the Coriolis effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects when they are viewed from a rotating frame of reference.The effect is named after Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, The Coriolis effect is caused by the Coriolis force, which appears in the equation of motion of an object in a rotating frame of reference. The Coriolis force is an example of a fictitious force (or pseudo force), because it does not appear when the motion is expressed in an inertial frame of reference, in which the motion of an object is explained by the real impressed forces, together with inertia. In a rotating frame, the Coriolis force, which depends on the velocity of the moving object, and centrifugal force, which does not depend on the velocity of the moving object, are needed in the equation to correctly describe the motion.......4 DIAGRAM C DIS LINK.....N RATE IF USEFUL THANX............http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Corioliskraftanimation.gif
