Which way does a high pressure rotate?
High air pressure systems spin clockwise.
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.
What direction does air rotate in the center of a high pressure system in the Northern hemisphere?
Good weather is usually associate with a high pressure system, which rotates clockwise in the northern hemisphere. CORRECTION FROM MADDIE:NO! Good weather rotates COUNTER -clockswise!I had other sources! smh.
What storm goes clockwise?
Hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere and cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere both rotate clockwise.
What direction do winds associated with a low-pressure system blow in the northern hemisphere?
It moves to the right YOUR WELCOME :)
Do Low pressure air currents turn clockwise or counter-clockwise?
Low pressure systems in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Do low pressure air currents turn clockwise?
They do in the southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, low pressure systems rotate counterclockwise.
Can winds spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere?
Yes. Large scale high pressure systems in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise. On rare occasions a tornado in the northern hemisphere will rotate clockwise as well, though the vast majority spin counterclockwise.
What describes anticyclones?
An anticyclone is a high-pressure weather system characterized by fair weather and winds that rotate around the center of highest pressure. Systems in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.
Do high pressure systems move clockwise or counterclockwise?
In the northern hemisphere wind blow around high-pressure systems in a clockwise direction. In the southern hemisphere, the wind blow is in the opposite (anticlockwise) direction.
What way do winds rotate around a tropical depression?
As with all low pressure systems the winds of a tropical depression rotate counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if it is in the southern.
Why do clouds rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere?
That's not nearly the whole story.In the northern hemisphere, clouds, weather systems, and air in general all rotatecounter-clockwise around low pressure, and clockwise around high pressure.
Which way does a high pressure rotate?
High air pressure systems spin clockwise.
What are the difference between cyclones and anticyclones?
A cyclone is a low pressure system in which the wind overall travels inwards and upwards. These systems rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. They typically bring stormy weather. An anticyclone is a high pressure system in which the wind generally travels downwards and outwards. These systems rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. They typically bring clear weather.
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.
In a low pressure system what direction do winds in the northern hemisphere blow?
Winds in a northern hemisphere low pressure system rotate counterclockwise around the low pressure center.
How do hurricanes rotate in the southern hemisphere?
Hurricanes, as well as all the milder low-pressure systems, rotate clockwise (to the right) in the southern hemisphere.
