Mostly no. The weather shifts air volumes around, but none of it is restricted to any one hemisphere during any period.

What is the clockwise deflection of air in the norhthern hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection of air in the southern hemisphere?
It is Coriolis effect
What are most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere are best described as violently roatating columns of air surrounded by?
They are often surrounded by a cloud of dust or debris. sepcially around the lower potions. This applies to tornadoes in the southern hemisphere as well.
Are the stars brighter in the southern hemisphere than the northern hemisphere?
For the most part there is less developed land in the Southern Hemisphere than in the Northern Hemisphere. That means that at night when you can see the stars there is less light pollution, and generally, I believe. less air pollution. Less air pollution means less tiny particles in the air. Particles tend to interfere with the passage of light, so you can't see stars that give off less light. At the same time "Light Pollution" makes the sky seem lighter providing poorer contrast and making weaker stars more difficult to see. In other words, stars are not brighter in the Southern Hemisphere, they're just easier to see.
Describe the path of air as it travels into a low-pressure area in the northern hemisphere?
Winds in the Northern Hemisphere tend to blow clockwise out of areas of high pressure and counterclockwise into areas of low pressure.
How does air move in anticyclone?
In an anticyclone the air moves in the opposite direction of a cyclone. In the North Hemisphere the air blows counter clockwise and in the Southern Hemispere the air blows clockwise.
What is the clockwise deflection of air is the northern hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection of air in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect is the clockwise deflection of air in the north hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the clockwise deflection of air in the northern hemisphere and the and counterclockwise deflection of air in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect is the clockwise deflection of air in the north hemisphere and the counterclockwise deflection in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which direction does air flow in a cyclone?
Counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
How does air in a high pressure system generally circulate?
clockwise and out from the center in the northern hemisphere, counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
What causes cyclonic circulation?
The flow of air into a low pressure cell is called cyclonic. Cyclonic circulation is counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The flow of air into a high pressure cell is called anti-cyclonic. Anticyclonic circulation is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere, and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
In what direction does air flow in a cyclone?
Wind in a cyclone moves counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
What geographical phenomenon makes winds and air masses deflects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left on the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis Effect.
What causes moving air and water to move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere due to Earth's what?
its rotation
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.
What are Ferrel cells?
The air blowing cell of southern and northern hemisphere is known as Ferrel cell.
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.
What rotation of air do high pressure systems have?
The rotation of high-pressure systems is anticyclonic: clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
