fuerza de coriolis
  18

Additional movement of objects on the surface of the earth when rotating the earth in space; objects are diverted to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. We can observe this by sneaking the water down the sink or sink drain. In Spain the turn of water is like that of the clock hands. In Argentina it must be the other way around. This effect of rotation was described in 1836 by the French scientist Gaspard Gustave Coriolis.
