Does the direction of the hurricanes depend on the hemisphere where the hurrianes occur?

The direction that they rotate does. Storm systems in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while ones in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. Tropical systems in both hemispheres tend to travel westward.

Does the direction of the hurricane depend on the hemisphere where the hurricane occurs?
Yes. Hurricanes (generically called tropical cyclones) rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Do hurricanes form along the equator?
Yes. A hurricane is just an intense tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones occur in both hemispheres. Only storms in certain parts of the northern hemisphere are called hurricanes, though they are essentially identical to storms that occur elsewhere.
What is the relationship between the California current and hurricanes?
The California current leads to low sea surface temperatures. The prevents hurricanes, which depend on warm water, from striking the U.S. Pacific Coast.
Are category storms the worst hurricanes?
No. Category 1 is the weakest category of hurricane. In most cases category 5 hurricanes are the worst. However, some pf the impacts of a hurricane do not necessarily depend on the storm's category.
Does the direction of wind depend on sun direction?
The weather is all about the thermodynamic effects of air masses with different pressure, moisture and temperature.
Does the direction of the hurricane depend on the hemisphere where the hurricane occurs?
Yes. Hurricanes (generically called tropical cyclones) rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
What is the direction of Orion?
It would depend on where in the world you are to determine what direction you would look to see it. As seen from the northern hemisphere, it crosses the sky to the south, for example. It is the most prominent constellation in the sky when it is visible, so you cannot miss it. It is on view throughout the northern hemisphere's winter months.
Do hurricanes form along the equator?
Yes. A hurricane is just an intense tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones occur in both hemispheres. Only storms in certain parts of the northern hemisphere are called hurricanes, though they are essentially identical to storms that occur elsewhere.
What way does water flow in a toilet bowl and why?
It depends on which hemisphere you live in... If you live in the northern hemisphere of the world the water will flow clockwise. If you live in the southern hemisphere it goes counterclockwise. I'm not exactly sure about why... But I do know it has to do with the earths gravitational pull and the fact that the earth is spinning on an axis.
Does displacement depend on direction?
yes
Why don't hurricanes form up with the northern Atlantic ocean?
Hurricanes are tropical cyclones that depend on warm water and plentiful warm, moist air. The north Atlantic is not warm enough for hurricanes to develop and maintain themselves.
Does the instantaneous speed depend on the direction?
Maybe
Why does a blimps movement not depend on the direction wind?
No
Does muscle power depend on direction of fascicles?
no
Why do hurricanes happen between tropical latitudes and not an higher latitude?
Hurricanes depend on very warm ocean water to sustain themselves. The waters of higher latitudes are not warm enough.
Are the sun's rays striking the Northern or Southern hemisphere the most during the summer?
well if you say it that way, it depend which hemisphere you live in. We live in the northern hemisphere, so the sun rays strike to the southern hemisphere.
What is the relationship between the California current and hurricanes?
The California current leads to low sea surface temperatures. The prevents hurricanes, which depend on warm water, from striking the U.S. Pacific Coast.
