Why is there no Coriolis force at the equator?
Why is there no Coriolis force at the equator? 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.
Why do hurricanes hit at night?
The reality of the situation is that there is no scientific or meteorological correlation that determines whether a storm makes landfall at night or during the day. In fact, over the past four season, most of the hurricanes have made landfall during the day.
