on the nature of the earth's magnetic field, in so far as it may be generated by some sort of magnetohydrodynamic dynamo within the earth's core. There is a similar chunk on the dynamics of aspects of the earth's fluid envelope and rotating stars are briefly mentioned.

The role of rotation on the behaviour of fluid systems arises through the inertial accelerations in a rotating system, producing the so-called Coriolis forces. These forces, or in
