Does Mercury rotate clockwise?
only Venus and Mercury move clockwise while the rest move anti clockwise.
What way do cyclones move?
Cyclones (which are always low pressure weather systems) spin in a clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere (as viewed from space). Anticyclone refers to a system rotating on the reverse direction so: anti-clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere. The word typhoon is sometimes used to refer to a cyclone that forms in the Pacific northwest, and the word hurricane to a cyclone that forms in the Atlantic or east Pacific.
How does air move in the center of the cyclone and in the center of an anti-cyclone?
It moves clockwise.
What are the 3 names for Tropical Cyclones?
The term cyclone refers to a wide variety of broad, low pressure system with cyclonic rotation, that is counterclockwise if the system is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.The first type to explore is called a tropical cyclone. These are the most intense cyclones in terms of both pressure (in all cyclones, a lower pressure means a stronger storm) and wind speed. Tropical cyclones originate from disorganized areas of low pressure that move over warm ocean water, where they feed on moisture and become stronger and better organized. These storms can only develop over warm ocean water and weaken rapidly if they hit land.These tropical systems tend to be called cyclones in the southern hemisphere, and they rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, where cyclones occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean and northeastern Pacific Ocean they are called hurricanes and those in the South China Sea and regions of Asia are called typhoons. Northern hemisphere cyclones rotate anti-clockwise. Weaker tropical cyclones in these regions are referred to as tropical storms if sustained winds are between 63 and 118 km/h (39 and 73 mph) and as tropical depressions if winds are less than 63 km/h. In addition to producing damaging winds these systems often produce heavy flooding. Tropical cyclones usually form in the summer of early autumn when the oceans are warmest.Cyclone intensity is measured by wind speed, and cyclones are accorded a category based on this:Category 1 - gales with gusts to 125 km/h (77 mph)Category 2 - destructive winds with gusts of 125 -170 km/h (77-105 mph)Category 3 - very destructive winds with gusts of 170 - 225 km/h (105-140 mph)Category 4 - very destructive winds with gusts of 225 - 280 km/h (140-174 mph)Category 5 - very destructive winds with gusts exceeding 280 km/h (174 mph)Hurricanes, which are cyclones in the northern hemisphere are classified according to the Saffir-Simpson Scale, which is also based on wind speed - not wind gusts, but rather sustainedwind speeds. The highest classification on this scale is category 5, in which sustained winds exceed 251 km/h (156 mph).Next up are mid-latitude or extratropicalcyclones. Unlike tropical cyclones these systems are powered by temperature gradients, or changes in temperature across a distance. Because they do not need as much moisture as tropical cyclones these systems can develop over land or over cool water. These systems form along fronts, or boundaries between air masses of different temperatures and dew points (a measure of absolute humidity). As a mid-latitude cyclone develops, a warm front will usually develop on the western side of the low while a cold front develops on the equator ward side (this is the southern side in the northern hemisphere and northern side in the southern hemisphere).These systems are usually not as intense as tropical cyclones but are typically larger in geographic extent, especially if you include the fronts they connect with. They do sometimes produce gale fore and even hurricane force winds, especially at sea. Unlike tropical cyclones these cyclones usually occur in fall, winter, or spring, when temperature contrasts are greatest. Depending on where and when they occur these systems can cause blizzards, flooding, or outbreaks of severe weather and tornadoes.There are also subtropical cyclones, which have characteristics of both tropical and extratropical cyclones. These typically follow the same naming conventions as tropical cyclones. A cyclone can transition between these three types.hurricanes and often tsunamis
In what direction did tropical cyclone move?
In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
How do cyclones move?
Cyclones in the Southern hemisphere spin in a clockwise direction. Cyclones in the Northern hemisphere spin in a counterclockwise direction.
In what direction did the tropical cyclones?
In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
Why do tropical cyclones move in a westward direction?
Tropical cyclones do not always move in a westward direction. For example, cyclones that form off the northwest coast of Australia tend to move eastwards towards the coastline.
Do tropical areas get hurricanes cyclones and typhoons?
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.
Why do tropical cyclones produce such violent weather?
Tropical cyclones have tremendous amounts of energy. As the storms move, they release the energy in high winds and rain. Most cyclones have the destructive energy of several nuclear weapons.
In which direction do the westerlies blow in the southern hemisphere?
If they're called Westerlies, they blow from the west. These winds blow in the mid-latitudes in both hemispheres. They blow in the same direction because air tends to flow towards the poles at those latitudes, getting deflected by the coriolis force at the same time.
Does Mercury rotate clockwise?
only Venus and Mercury move clockwise while the rest move anti clockwise.
Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
Do players move anti clockwise or clockwise in volleyball?
Yes, the girls, or boys, do. Its called a rotation. You do this whenever a ball touches the floor on the other side of the volleyball net.

How does air move in the center of the cyclone and in the center of an anti-cyclone?
It moves clockwise.
How do you rotate a figure 270 degrees clockwise around the origin?
Move it 3 times* * * * *or once in the anti-clockwise direction.
