Left in a clockwise direction due to the Coriolis effect.
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the right. In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the left. This deflection leads to the clockwise rotation of ocean currents in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.
The Coriolis effect causes objects moving in the Northern Hemisphere to be deflected to the right due to the Earth's rotation. This effect is a result of the rotation of the Earth on its axis and causes winds, ocean currents, and objects in motion to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere, ocean currents generally flow clockwise, while in the southern hemisphere, they flow counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes moving objects to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

left. This is due to the rotation of the Earth causing a deflection in the direction of moving objects, including winds. In the Southern Hemisphere, this deflection results in winds curving to the left.
The rotation of Earth causes all Southern Hemisphere winds to be deflected to the
Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
The Coriolis Effect, a consequence of Earth's rotation, causes this.

Earth's rotation is responsible for something called the Coriolis effect, which is what causes hurricanes to spin. How it operates is complicated to explain, but in simple terms, relative to an observer on earth air currents in the northern hemisphere get deflected to the right, and those in the southern hemisphere are deflected to the left. This means that low pressure systems such as hurricanes will rotate counterclockwise and clockwise respectively. If it were not for this effect then hurricanes would never develop, and would instead remain as disorganized clusters of thunderstorms.

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the inertia of the mass experiencing the effect. This force causes moving objects on the surface of the earth to be deflected in a clockwise sense (with respect to the direction of travel) in the Northern Hemisphere and in a counter-clockwise sense in the Southern Hemisphere.
Coriolis effectHurricane Andrew hurtles northwest over the Florida coastline in August 1992, its spiral shape evident in this infrared satellite photo. Like water draining through an outlet, hurricanes spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the southern - a manifestation of the Coriolis effect.Effect of the Earth's rotation on the atmosphere, oceans, and theoretically all objects moving over the Earth's surface. In the northern hemisphere it causes moving objects and currents to be deflected to the right; in the southern hemisphere it causes deflection to the left. The effect is named after its discoverer, French mathematician Gaspard de Coriolis (1792-1843).
The swirling shape of a hurricane is the result of the fact that it spins as it draws air inward. The spinning is due to the Coriolis effect, a consequence of earth's spin. Air flowing into a storm will be deflected to the right if it is in the northern hemisphere and to the left if it is in the southern hemisphere.
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.
No. Rotation (spin) causes days and nights. It is the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the sun that causes the seasons, by changing the angle and duration of sunlight reaching areas of each hemisphere. Summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern, and vice versa. Between these two extremes are spring and fall. Areas closer to the equator experience much less seasonal variation in daylight.
