RBF Definitions
What is the effect of Earth’s rotation on wind power?"
A: “Rotation is the heating-cooling pressure differential input. Rotation does not cause the wind. In fact, the wind goes faster from west to east than the Earth turns in the same direction. The rotation of the Earth changes sunlight and shadow, causing changes in temperature, causing changes in the weather, causing the wind.”
