coriolis effect alone disproves it
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76598561



But the coriolis effect can't be caused by the rotation of the earth.

If it was that means every time hovered in a balloon or left the earth's surface, it would rotate under you.

that isn't what happens though, and we are told we are in sync with the rotation of the earth, that's why we don't feel it move.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42079668


and you just proved you don't understand what the coriolis effect is.

It is NOT just the Earth rotating under you. It is the DIFFERENCE in rotation between areas North and South of each other. As an object travels North the rotational speed under it changes. It still has the momentum from before so that difference is seen.
