The Coriolis force acts due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis and deflects objects with inertial motion on the Earth’s surface to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern one. The Baer law states that the rotation of the Earth about its axis deflects rivers along the meridian to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern one, and deflection does not exist if the motion is directed along the lines of latitude. The relationships between the Coriolis force and Baer law consist in the common cause (Earth’s rotation) and consequence (deflection); however, they differ with respect to the evaluation of the effect from the direction of the inertial motion: Baer regards this direction as being decisive (i.e. deflection is maximal along the meridian and zero along the latitudes); from the viewpoint of the Coriolis force, however, the direction does not play any role. Because of the obvious relationships between the Coriolis force...
