Preferred term

Coriolis force  

Definition(s)

  • Because Earth spins on its axis, the Coriolis force bends wind right or left from the direction of its flow. The Coriolis force, therefore, causes wind to deviate from a straight path. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming & Climate Change; Coriolis Force]
