Coriolis effect
The Coriolis effect is the apparent deflection of moving objects from a straight path when they are viewed from a rotating frame of reference. The effect is named after Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, a French scientist who described it in 1835, though the mathematics appeared in the tidal equations of Pierre-Simon Laplace in 1778. One of the most notable examples is the deflection of winds moving along the surface of the Earth to the right of the direction of travel in the Northern hemisphere and to the left of the direction of travel in the Southern hemisphere. This effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and is responsible for the direction of the rotation of large cyclones: winds around the center of a cyclone rotate counterclockwise on the northern hemisphere and clockwise on the southern hemisphere.

Coriolis force
Noun
1. (physics) a force due to the earth's rotation; acts on a body in motion (airplane or projectile) in a rotating reference frame; in a rotating frame of reference Newton's second law of motion can be made to apply if in addition to the real forces acting on a body a Coriolis force and a centrifugal force are introduced

Coriolis Force
like centrifugal acceleration , is imaginary. Under some circumstances it appears that a force is accelerating an object. An example would be to observe the trajectory of a rocket fired vertically into space (from any place but at the poles): It would seem to be acted upon by a force deflecting to the east. In fact the observer is on Earth which is simply rotating in the opposite direction. Winds in the northern hemisphere have a clockwise motion because of the Coriolis 'force'.
