Hi Omar,Thank you for your interest. But I need clarifications.
1. What is the specific source of your questions?2. If "...Earth and atmosphere are 1 frame of reference (with the same angular velocity for both", then the whole system rotates as one solid body, so why mention atmosphere or liquid earth in this framework?
3. Coriolis effect is just named but there is no specific question about it.
4. What do you mean by "...conservation of momentum 'transferring' through scores of miles of gas?"
Please, formulate your questions clearly.
Best,Moses

Greetings.
Checked the archives and not seeing a close analog to this question that
been bugging me for a little while; hope you can help.
Question assumes the following:
-A solid/liquid earth
-Rotating
-Gaseous atmosphere, where we know gases are definitionally unbonded
molecules
-Earth and atmosphere are 1 frame of reference (rotational velocity is the
same angular velocity for both; 2 separate FoR would lead me to another
question as that's needed for, say, coriolis effect wrt atmosphere)
So, my question please:
How is conservation of momentum 'transferring' through scores of miles of
gas?
