In the Northern Hemisphere, a hurricane's spiral rotation is counterclockwise.
Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere, at least 99%, rotate counterclockwise.
Currents generally flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, which is a result of the Earth's rotation. In the southern hemisphere, currents tend to flow counterclockwise for the same reason.
Low pressure air currents turn counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and influences the direction of winds on a global scale.
Most tornadoes (about 99%) in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise. But most in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
The vast majority of tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
In the Southern Hemisphere, ocean currents generally rotate clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects moving objects to the left. This means that currents tend to flow in a circular motion in a clockwise direction around high-pressure systems.
Eris rotates counterclockwise on its axis.
Tornadoes in the northern hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the southern hemisphere typically rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by Earth's rotation.

The circular pattern formed by the connecting of surface currents is known as a gyre. Ocean gyres are large systems of rotating ocean currents that are influenced by wind patterns, Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and landmasses. In the Northern Hemisphere, gyres rotate clockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they rotate counterclockwise. These currents play a crucial role in regulating climate, distributing heat, and influencing marine ecosystems.
