The Coriolis effect is an apparent force (a fictitious force in a rotating reference frame) that deflects moving objects like winds, ocean currents, and missiles from their intended straight path. It is a consequence of observing motion from a rotating frame of reference, specifically the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, it causes deflection to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere, it causes deflection to the left.
