Why coriolos force is zero at the equator
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 3 years, 10 months ago

In physics Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the left of the motion of the object; in one with counter-clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the right.

The Coriolis effect is the one that makes low pressures rotate anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. At the equator, the forces cancel each other out. That's why the direction of rotation changes between the two hemispheres.

The Coriolis effect is greatest at the poles and zero at the equator because of the earth's spherical shape. If the surface of the rotating object is flatter, the Coriolis effect will be noticed more.
