The way in which the rotation of the earth bends the path of winds, sea currents, and objects that fly through different latitudes.[1]
There are two schools of thought on the ultimate cause of the Coriolis effect: theistic corialists (TC) and atheistic corialists (AC). TCs conclude that the ultimate cause of the Coriolist effect is God, who uses physics to achieve His will. ACs arbitrarly ignore even the possibility of the divine and assert that blind chance alone is enough to produce this effect.
