Coriolis Effect

The video explains the global cycle of wind and the Coriolis effect, which is caused by Earth's rotation. It describes how wind direction is influenced by the Coriolis effect, making it complex to understand. The video also covers how warm air moves from the equator to the poles, affected by Earth's varying rotation speeds. The troposphere is described as a fluid mass influenced by Earth's spin. A demonstration using particles illustrates the Coriolis effect, showing how winds veer due to Earth's rotation. The Coriolis effect is crucial in meteorology, affecting weather conditions like thunderstorms and hurricanes.
