Tides
Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels due to the effects of the gravity exerted by the moon and the sun, and the rotation of the Earth.
The Coriolois Force
The Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame.
Other Geophysical Applications
Tidal and Coriolis forces may not be obvious over a small time-space scale, but they are important in meteorology, navigation, and fishing.
