What way do the gyres of the northern hemisphere spiral?
clockwise
What is a huge group of stars that form a spreading spiral?
A Spiral Galaxy
How do you use spiral in a sentence?
Some galaxies are spiral, similar to the Milky Way.
Why does the Milky Way galaxy NOT look like a spiral when viewed from Earth?
It does not look like a spiral because we are inside the disk that forms the spiral arms. To see the spiral, you have to be outside the galaxy, viewing the disk from above or below.
A sentence for spiral in science?
My spiral notebook went inside the ocean's Deep current.
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 Ekman transport?
its the net movement of water as a result of Ekman spiral; in the northen hemisphere, 90 degrees to the right of the wind direction; in the southern hemisphere 90 degrees to the left of the wind direction
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 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 does the coriolis effect do to winds in the northern hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere winds spiral to the right; while in the southern hemisphere winds spiral to the left.
In which direction does a hurricane spiral rotate in the northen hemisphere clockwise or counterclockwise?
a hurricane rotates counterclockwise
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.
What direction does water spiral down the bath plug hole in the northern hemisphere?
Counter clockwise looking from the top. The same direction a tropical depression or low pressure area spins.
How does air spiral in a tornado?
In most cases in the northern hemisphere, air spirals counter-clockwise around a tornado and sucks upward in the core center of the tornado. This is typically clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
How do anti-cyclones spiral in the northern hemisphere?
Anticyclones in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What way do the gyres of the northern hemisphere spiral?
clockwise
How does the wind move in a tornado?
The wind moves in a spiral fashion, moving rapidly toward the center of the tornado in a cyclonic fashion, meaning counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In the core of the tornado this wind takes on a more circular pattern. In addition to the spiral movement, wind in a tornado moves rapidly upwards. There may be fairly calm area of sinking air at the center of some tornadoes. In these tornadoes, a series of smaller whirlwinds can sometimes develop inside the tornado. These spinning columns of air circle the tornado's center, moving with the rotation.
