The Coriolis force is an apparent force exerted on a moving object by the rotation of the earth; an object that is moving horizontally above the earth's surface in the Northern Hemisphere tends to show a rightward deflection, and one in the Southern Hemisphere tends to show a lefward deflection.
Described by Gaspard de Coriolis, 1792-1843, A French civil engineer.
