What does the coriolis effect do to winds in the northern hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere winds spiral to the right; while in the southern hemisphere winds spiral to the left.
What direction does the air spiral in a high pressure?
Clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, and always diverging away from the center.
Is a cyclone a system of wind in which the wind blows spirally?
That is part of the definition. The description here could apply to both cyclones and anticyclones. A cyclones is a low-pressure wind systems in which wind spirals in a cyclonic direction: counterclockwise for systems in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones generally bring stormy or rainy weather. An anticyclone is the opposite; it is a high-pressure system with winds that spiral clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. Anticyclones generally bring clear weather.
What are tropical cyclones in a large spiral around relatively calmly center eye?
The name varies with where they occur. In the waters of the Atlantic and eastern Pacific in the northern hemisphere such storms are called hurricanes. In the western Pacific north of the equator they are called typhoons. In the southern Pacific and Indian Oceans they are simply called cyclones.
At which of these times would the north pole be titled toward the sun?
If you live in the northern hemisphere, Summer. If you live in the southern hemisphere, Winter. To be perhaps a little overly picky, at the moment that the north pole is pointing most directly toward the sun, it is the very end of northern spring, and the very beginning of norther summer. In the south, it is the end of autumn, and the beginning of winter.
What does the coriolis effect do to winds in the northern hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere winds spiral to the right; while in the southern hemisphere winds spiral to the left.
How can you tell what hemisphere a hurricane is in?
By looking at a satellite image. If the cloud bands spiral inwards and counterclockwise it is in the northern hemisphere. If they spiral inwards and clockwise it is in the southern hemisphere.
What direction does the air spiral in a high pressure?
Clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, and always diverging away from the center.
How do anti-cyclones spiral in the northern hemisphere?
Anticyclones in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What are cyclones and anti cyclones?
A Cyclone is an air moving in a spiral around a large scale low-pressure area, counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. Cyclones typically bring stormy weather. Anticyclone is an air moving in a spiral around a high-pressure area, clockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere. Anticyclones typically bring fair, sunny weather.
What way do the gyres of the northern hemisphere spiral?
clockwise
In which direction do cyclonic winds spiral in the southern hemisphere?
Clockwise
How does air spiral in a tornado?
In most cases in the northern hemisphere, air spirals counter-clockwise around a tornado and sucks upward in the core center of the tornado. This is typically clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Anticyclones generally bring clear weather.
How does the air chase itself in a tornado?
A tornado forms from the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm. The updraft of the tornado creates low pressure that causes air to spiral inward (usually counterclockwise int he northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern) and then upward.
Do the winds in a northern hemisphere cyclone spiral counterclockwise away or toward its center?
Toward the center. The low pressure sucks air inward.
What is the name given to a spiral shell?
Spiral seashells are called nautilus shells. These types of shells can be found on a squid or octopus and are very hard.
