About This Product
The Coriolis effect describes how the rotation of the Earth appears to deflect moving air and water. In earth science classes, a rotating turntable with a rolling sphere is a common way to show why winds and ocean currents curve instead of travelling in straight lines. Students observe the path the sphere traces and compare it with the path on a stationary surface, then relate the result to global wind and ocean current patterns. Alongside supply within India, the Coriolis Effect Kit is offered for export to Montenegro, Honduras, Tunisia, Costa Rica, Belgium and Equatorial Guinea.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Coriolis Effect Kit show?
As the steel spheres track a pattern on the turntable, students simulate the effect of the Earth's rotation on winds, ocean currents and material objects.
Q2. What if the platform loses sensitivity?
The contact surface can lose sensitivity during shipping and use. Cleaning it with a simple cleaner can increase contrast, and dry erase board cleaner works well.
Q3. How is the surface cleaned?
Spray the underside of the pink surface and the topside of the white surface with the cleaner, then wipe dry.
