Physicist Helen Czerski explains that hurricanes happen because the earth is rotating. She shows how, because the earth is a spinning globe, its atmosphere is controlled by something called the coriolis effect. This effect is key to all weather and climate on earth. Helen goes to Mexico during hurricane season and also demonstrates the coriolis effect by throwing a ball on a child鈥檚 roundabout. Using graphics and archive she shows how destructive hurricanes can be.
