Is it true or false that hurricanes rotate in a counter-clockwise directions?
It is true that in the Northern Hemisphere, a hurricane rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise in British English).In the Southern Hemisphere, the hurricane rotates clockwise.
Is it true that the wind moves in a counterclockwise direction in the Norther Hemosphere?
yes .. the wind moves in counterclockwise direction in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE..
What direction does a cyclone spin in the northern hemisphere?
A typhoon in the northern hemisphere rotates counter-clockwise, in contrast to a typhoon in the southern hemisphere which rotates the other way (i.e., clockwise) as explained by the Coriolis effect.
Do thunderstorms with lighting have strong cyclonic winds spinning counterclockwise?
No. Most thunderstorms do not rotate, nor do they necessarily produce strong winds. A thunderstorm with strong rotation is called a supercell. A supercell in the northern hemisphere will rotate counterclockwise, but one in the southern hemisphere will rotate clockwise. The same is true of all cyclonic storms.
Is it true that hurricanes usually last for a few minutes?
No, it is not true. Hurricanes last for days and sometimes weeks.

Why do typhoons spin clockwise and hurricanes spin counter-clock wise?
In general, it is Coriolis effect that initiates and maintains the rotation of a tropical cyclone. This phenomenon causes cyclones south of the equator to rotate clockwise, and those north of the equator to rotate anti-clockwise.
Can you rotate text counterclockwise by entering a number between 1 degrees and 180 degrees on the alignment sheet?
True

In which direction does a tornado spin?
Tornadoes normally rotate cyclonically in direction: - counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere - clockwise in the southern hemisphere But while large-scale storms always rotate cyclonically due to the Coriolis effect, thunderstorms and tornadoes are so small that the direct influence of the Coriolis effect is inconsequential. Supercells and tornadoes rotate cyclonically in numerical simulations even when the Coriolis effect is neglected. Low-level mesocyclones and tornadoes owe their rotation to complex processes within the supercell and ambient environment. Approximately 1% of tornadoes rotate in an anticyclonic direction. Typically, only landspouts and gustnadoes rotate anticyclonically, and usually only those which form on the anticyclonic shear side of the descending rear flank downdraft in a cyclonic supercell. However, on rare occasions, anticyclonic tornadoes form in association with the mesoanticyclone of an anticyclonic supercell, in the same manner as the typical cyclonic tornado, or as a "companion tornado," either as a satellite tornado or associated with anticyclonic eddies within a supercell.
Why do hurricanes only appear on the east of the US?
This is not true. It is true that most U.S. hurricane do impact the east, Atlantic hurricanes also frequently impact other countries. There are also Pacific hurricanes, but due to the general wind direction in that part of the world, these storms usually stay at sea. In other parts of the world storms that are essentially the same thing as hurricanes are called typhoons, cyclones, or tropical cyclones.
Is it true that hurricanes usually last for a few minutes?
No, it is not true. Hurricanes last for days and sometimes weeks.
Which of the following statements about hurricanes and tornadoes is true hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes hurricanes can kill people but tornadoes cannot hurricanes have strong winds?
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
