Question

The equator rotates faster than the poles... Well I am not able to understand why is it so because earth being a unified mass should have all it's parts moving uniformly.. How can equator move faster than the poles, this makes me think of earth like a mass made by combining 3 different parts with distinct boundaries.​

• Because there is no turning of the surface of the Earth (sense of rotation) underneath a horizontally and freely moving object at the equator, there is no curving of the object's path as measured relative to Earth's surface. The object's path is straight, that is, there is no Coriolis effect.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Coriolis effect describes the pattern of deflection taken by objects not firmly connected to the ground as they travel long distances around the Earth.
