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. Quoting: LHP598 Ok So then you just admitted it has nothing to do with the shape or roation of the earth and in no way proves a globe earth. It's simply a phenomenon that's caused by a force. It could still be happening on a flat earth too and be caused by electromagnetic forces. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42079668 Please read what I wrote and now what you wish I wrote. I did NOT say it has nothing to do with the shape or rotation of the Earth. Quite the opposite. I said it had to do with the change of rotation speed. That mentions rotation and is dependent on the shape. Stop trying to put words in my mouth you troll. You're not very good at it. Quoting: LHP598 Ok so then why is Coriolis effect being used as a "proof" of a globe earth then? it's a moot point that doesn't prove anything. But if you want to sit and argue semantics go ahead.
