Summary[edit]

Description
English: GIF-animation for the Coriolis effect article

The large circle represents a turntable that is not flat, but that has a parabolic cross section. The black dot represents a puck, moving frictionless over the surface of the concave turntable. The ellipse represents the trajectory of the puck.

There is conservation of angular momentum. The further away from the center of rotation, the slower the velocity of the puck.
