Coriolis effect (zonal movement)
{"Image DocumentName": "Coriolis effect (zonal movement)", "Image ImageDescription": "If the stone was sent eastward, it would have a tangential velocity higher than the earth tangential velocity at the same place. As a consequence it would be submit to a higher centrifugal force. As a consequence it would be deviated towards the equator, i.e. to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern one. If the stone was thrown westward its tangential velocity would be smaller and then the centrifugal force would me smaller and the stone would be deviated towards the pole. The stone only feels the difference between its own velocity and the earth velocity because the earth is deformed due to the centrifugal force. Due to this deformation the gravity force that acts along a line linking the place to the center of the earth can be decomposed in two forces, one perpendicular to the earth surface and another pointing to the pole This two forces and the centrifugal force balance. Additional movement tangential movement deviates the system from equilibrium. Anticyclonic and cyclonic movement in the high and low atmospheric pressure regions is a consequence of coriolis and the coastal upwelling in the ocean generated by the wind is also a consequence of the atmospheric pressure. The high and low temperatures in oceanic eddies according to the sense of rotation and its size variation when submit to meridian movement as well.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
