What do you mean by Coriolis Force?

What is Coriolis Force?

Answer 1

‘Coriolis Force’ refers to the apparent force that acts as a result of the Earth’s rotation, deflecting the moving objects (such as projectiles or air currents) to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. It is one of the main reasons for the movement of the monsoon winds that originate from the Indian Ocean.
