what is corolis force? --- my textbook explanation says that : the apparent force by the earth's rotation. the corolis force is responsible for the deflection of the winds to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. this is also known as 'Ferrel's Law'.

A force that as a result of the earth's rotation acts on a body in motion (as a projectile)
Apparent force that must be included if Newton's law of motion are to be used in a rotating system.First described by Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843) in 1835, the force acts to the right of the direction of body motion for counterclockwise rotation and to the left for clockwise rotation.On earth an object that moves along a north-south path, or longitudinal line,will be apparent deflected to the right in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere.The deflection is related to the object, the motion of the Earth and latitude.The Coriolis effect is important in meteorology and oceanography as well as ballistics; it also has great significance in astrophysics.
