Low pressure spins clockwise in south america. This is because air wants to flow from high to low pressure, but is deflected to the left. This results in a clockwise flow.

How do you describe the direction of rotation when the measure of an angle is positive?
Anticlockwise.
What is the difference of counterclockwise and clockwise?
Referring to the direction of rotation, a clockwise direction indicates rotation in the same direction as the hands move on the face of a clock. Counterclockwise rotation is in the opposite direction.
Does a hurricane ever change its direction of rotation?
No. A hurricane will not change its direction of rotation.
What has to be interchange in order to reverse the direction of rotation of shunt generator?

How does retrograde rotation compared with the rotation of Earth?
It means that the rotation is in the opposite direction.
What is the definition of retrograde rotation?
It means rotation in the opposite direction.
Is rotation scalar or vector?
Rotation is a vector having a direction and magnitude.
Which describes a transformation using rotation?
The centre of rotation, the angle of rotation and, unless the angle is 180 degrees, the direction of rotation.

What are two important things gears do?
Change speed of rotation. change direction of rotation.
Is the direction of rotation same at the south pole?
The absolute direction of rotation is always the same (from East to west). How we describe that direction depends on the frame of reference we use. Conventionally we look from above the North pole and say the Earth rotates anticlockwise (from East to West). If your reference frame was a view above the South Pole then you would say the Earth otated clockwise (from East to West).
