Hey Ms. Sue the link you gave did not help. Thanks for sharing it though!
Your question seems to be asking about the definition of the term "Coriolis effect." The Coriolis effect refers to a change in direction caused by rotation, specifically the rotation of the Earth. It is an apparent deflection of the path of an object or fluid due to the rotation of the Earth beneath it. As the Earth rotates, objects that are moving over its surface, such as air or water, appear to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This effect is due to differences in rotational speed at different latitudes. To understand this concept better, you can perform a simple experiment.
Take a spinning chair and hold a ball in your hand. When you throw the ball directly towards someone, they catch it easily. However, when you throw the ball while spinning on the chair, the ball appears to curve to one side. This happens because, as you spin, the chair and the ball are physically connected while the person trying to catch the ball is not part of the spinning system. The same principle can be applied to the Coriolis effect on Earth as it rotates.
By understanding the rotation of the Earth and the Coriolis effect, scientists can explain various phenomena such as the rotation of hurricanes and the pattern of global wind systems.
