In my country kenya, on the line of equator, if u put a paper ship in a basin of water it will keep goin round

Answer 1

yes totally true my hip friend.........

Its called Flarkelleys effect......
Which in simple terms means that the line of equator is in the centre of the outer magnetic fields which protect us from deadly radiation,

Meaning the core of the magnetic field passes above parallel to the equator having an effect on the centre of the outermost central point which is the equator


meaning that any winds blowing in any direction will have same concurrent effect of the direction it started in until it dies off

Hence the paper ship going round n round...

Answer 2

In my country, the United States, which is not on the equator, if you put a paper ship in a basin of water and then pull the plug out of the bottom of the basin the ship will go around, too, at least until all the water has drained out.

The direction in which water flows down a drain is determined entirely by the design of the drain, nothing else. If water only flowed one direction north of the equator and the other direction south of it, how would you explain rivers crossing the equator? The Nile doesn't change its direction of flow when it crosses the equator, neither does the Congo (which crosses it more than once) or the Amazon.

Answer 3

Yes, but does it go round left or go round right? Trying stepping across the Equatorial line to a "neighbour's place" and put the ship in their basin -- which way did the ship go round? Just keep going until you cross the gravitational flux.

Answer 4

There is no net Coriolis force at the equator. But, even off the equator, the Coriolis force is too small to observe except on a large scale, such as the prevailing winds.

Answer 5

That is interesting, because I have also heard that the water in a basin in Australia goes down the plug hole the opposite way that it goes down in England.

Answer 6

I doubt it. Water behaves the same way on the equator as it does everywhere else in the world.

Answer 7

Great for you. I don't have the slightest Idea why it would do that though.

Answer 8

The end has no end.

Answer 9

Oh

Answer 10
