High pressure systems move where in the northern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect makes the air turn clockwise.
What In the Northern Hemisphere the magnetic compass will normally indicate a turn toward the south when?
the aircraft is decelerated while on a west heading.
In which direction does the earth always turn?
west to east
Why are the seven continents shaped the way that they are?
The shapes of the continents are the result of the way the Earth's crust broke up into tectonic plates; this in turn has to do both with the structure of the crust and the pattern of currents in the underlying magma, which cause continental drift, and both of those things ultimately are entirely accidental results of the way the Earth originally formed, some four and a half billion years ago.
Can you turn down for what?
no:I
In which direction does the coriolis effect cause currents in the northern hemisphere to turn?
it's to the right.
Which Wind direction in a high pressure system in the southern hemisphere?
High pressure systems turn anti clockwise in the southern hemisphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere
Do low pressure air currents turn clockwise?
They do in the southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, low pressure systems rotate counterclockwise.
What directions do tornadoes normally turn in?
Normally they turn counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. However, in very rare cases a tornado turns in the opposite direction from normal. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
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.
What way do tornado turn in the southern hemisphere?
Nearly all tornadoes in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise.
Which way do winds turn in the southern hemisphere?
Winds curve/turn towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
Do tornadoes turn clockwise and counterclockwise?
Both. Most tornadoes turn counterclockwise if in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if in the southern. There is also a small percentage of tornadoes (less than 1%) that turn in the opposite direction from what is normal in their hemisphere.
Why do water in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise down the drain and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere?
it has nothing to do with the hemispheres, it depends on the shape of the drain. It can go either direction in both hemispheres
Do cyclones go in reverse?
Cyclones only turn in one direction, and do not change mid-cyclone. In the southern hemisphere, cyclones rotate in a clockwise direction. In the northern hemisphere, cyclones (known as hurricanes or typhoons, depending on their location) rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
Ocean currents in the northern and southern hemispheres turn?
against the current
Where does the water turn counterclockwise?
in the southern hemisphere (south of the equator)
