Anticyclones in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What else can I help you with?
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.
True or false winds in an anticyclones spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere?
True.
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.
How do hurricane winds spiral in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, hurricane winds spiral counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation.
What is the direction of flow of a anticyclone?
Anticyclones in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
What way do the gyres of the northern hemisphere spiral?
The gyres in the northern hemisphere spiral clockwise. This means the surface currents move in a circular pattern with a clockwise direction at the center of the gyre.
In which direction does a hurricane spiral rotate in the northen hemisphere clockwise or counterclockwise?
In the Northern Hemisphere, a hurricane's spiral rotation is counterclockwise.
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 kind of front spins counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, low-pressure systems and cyclones rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect. This is caused by the Earth's rotation deflecting the air flow to the left. High-pressure systems and anticyclones spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Describe the movement of air around cyclones and anticyclones in the northern and southern hemispheres?
The winds of a cyclone in the southern hemisphere moves in a clockwise direction, while the winds of a hurricane or typhoon, often called anti-cyclone, in the northern hemisphere, rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
Do the winds in a northern hemisphere cyclone spiral counterclockwise away or toward its center?
In the northern hemisphere, the winds in a cyclone spiral counterclockwise away from its center. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes air to deflect to the right in the northern hemisphere, encouraging the counterclockwise rotation.
What is the name of the force that determines which way the wind will spiral in a hurricane?
The Coriolis force determines the direction of wind spiraling in a hurricane. In the Northern Hemisphere, winds spiral counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they spiral clockwise.
