\nThe Coriolis Effect Due to Earth's Rotation\n

\n
\n\nFor Students\n\n6th - 12th\n\nStandards\n
\n
\n
\nWhy do big storms spin as they travel? As Earth spins, the movement of air and water change. Viewers observe the Coriolis effect on paper airplanes, water, and even hurricanes—and find the effect is everywhere! \n
