Due to analysing the movement in a rotating frame, the famous Coriolis term appears: \(\boldsymbol{a}_C=-2\boldsymbol{\omega}\times\boldsymbol{v}\), with \(\boldsymbol{v}\) your velocity in the rotating frame and \(\boldsymbol{\omega}\) the angular rotation velocity of the Earth (or another rotating system).
One of the consequences of this term is that, depending on your velocity, a vertical acceleration with respect to the surface of the Earth can appear. It's called the Eötvös effect. If you're moving eastwards, the Eötvös effect pulls you upwards, and if you're moving westwards, the effect pulls you downwards.
It's a certainly small effect for typical velocities in comparison with gravity, but it's there. #physics
