[@AmonAmarthFan609]

I work for a carnival, and when I first started there i was the one to explain to all my coworkers why all of our rides are designed to spin counter clockwise and not clockwise. They knew that for some reason or another, mechanisms that rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere accumulate more wear and tear and thus require more maintenance than ones that spin counterclockwise. But they didn’t understand why, and some of them even assumed it was all a conspiracy

[@tiramisu10001]

Very good videos. I like the way you show how the speed of the rotation explains the Coriolis Effect. I was told about the effect in high school but was never explained why. Now it's clear.

​@@mlccrl For one thing, I'm not sure why you'd target me in this warlike campaign against an archetype that in no way resembles me. For another, I'm not sure what would even lead you to think that I smoked cannabis on the toilet! I mean, were YOU high while you wrote that? I took time out of my day to find a video explaining a scientific concept that my teacher explained poorly, whereas you took time out of your day to put down and insult a person for looking to the internet to answer an academic question. Based on the little (but illuminating) evidence present, I'd say that it would be easy, even for a cannabis smoking toilet dweller, to determine who's making better life choices here. Good day.

@@sorenficklin5884 You took the chance to promote yourself as a bright example of perfect student.

[@shreedhar333]

I swear I looked this up on KZbin last time I was trying to understand the Coriolis effect but I don’t remember the explanation being this visual and easy. It must have been just prior to your video post date. At any rate, I’m glad you decided to make this short video so it didn’t take me an hour to relearn why the direction of storms is CCW in northern hemisphere.

[@Ratkas007]

I have always thought about the coriolis effect. All the videos that explain this effect always show an object traveling from the equator to the poles or vice versa. That makes sense because as you are traveling the surface speed changes underneath you. What if you are at the 45 deg line and you travel / shoot directly with or against the earths rotation? The coriolis effect cannot have an influence because no surface speed change is present. You will however shoot low or high due to the rotation of the earth depending if you shoot towards or against the rotation.

[@farhad_v25]

[@michael88704]

Question: @ 2:13, it shows one cloud moving down and to the right, and another moving up and to the right. But the yellow circular arrows within the red glow of the low pressure system "L" move opposite the motion of the clouds. Why is this? It seems contradictory. Based on the previous explanation of winds moving away from the equator "getting ahead," and those moving toward the equator "falling behind," it seems that there should be Counter-Clock Wise storm systems in the southern hemisphere, but there aren't. Thank you for any answers!

[@lisahadleyhill2782]

Love this! But I have to make a correction. The air in the northern hemisphere entering the low pressure system of a hurricane deflects to the right -for BOTH the fast moving equatorial air and the slow moving polar air. It is animated correctly but the audio is incorrect. You have to put yourself from the perspective of the wind's motion. It is moving from north to south so a rightward deflection would be to the west. Would LOVE it if you could post a correction. I will be using this with my classroom!

[@AtlasPro1]

Glad to see people using this :) I don't think I'll be able to make any corrections, but I think everything is explained correctly. I don't like changing reference points during an explanation because in my mind that's how things get confusing, To see the air moving to the right from the N-S direction, you'd need to flip the map around, changing perspective entirely. Just my thoughts though, I hope your students enjoy!

[@lisahadleyhill2782]

Yep. I understand the frame of reference change can be jarring. Even if it is potentially confusing, I prefer everything be 100% accurate. It helps them to know there is a 'rule' of right deflection in the north and left deflection in the south. The video is certainly very high quality that it is worth showing and I will give the disclaimer directly to students when viewing. Thank you! You have made a difficult concept understandable.

[@AtlasPro1]

Hurricanes aren't called differently based on hemisphere, but based on the ocean they form in. I live in the Philippines, which while close to the equator is decidedly in the northern hemisphere. We call them typhoons, as they originate in the northwest Pacific.

[@vliegendehollander]

Great video! Visually just one minor thing from 1:29-1:33 your red ground-track arrows are turning the wrong way. All arrows in the Northern Hemisphere should be curving right, while arrows in the Southern Hemisphere should be curving left. You got it right from 1:05-1:25 :)
