The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon that occurs due to the rotation of the Earth. When air, water, or other fluids move in a straight line from one place to another, the Earth's rotation causes this motion to curve. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes fluids to curve to the right, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it causes them to curve to the left. The Coriolis effect affects ocean currents, weather patterns, and movements of objects in the air and on the Earth's surface.
