In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.
Do hurricanes spin?
Yes. Hurricanes spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern (where they are called cyclones). However, because the hurricanes are so large, a person on the ground would not notice the rotation.
Are hurricanes constructive or destructive forces?
A hurricane is a destructive force. When it is formed and makes landfall is destroys or breaks down parts of the Earth.
Are hurricanes caused by shifts in tectonic plates?
No hurricanes are caused by instability over warm oceans creating thunderstorms which start to spin and join together.
What do hurricanes tornadoes and typhoons all have in common?
they all spin and they all cause damage.
How does the Coriolis force effect modify air movement?
In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the right. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin counterclockwise. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis force deflects winds to the left. This causes hurricanes and typhoons to spin clockwise.
Do hurricanes spin slower then tornado?
no
In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.
Which directrion did katriena spin?
Northern Hemisphere hurricanes always spin counterclockwise.
Why do hurricanes spin conterclockwise?
They spin like this due to something called the Coriolis force. In the northern hemisphere it veers the winds to the right and vice versa in the south. See the related link more information
Do hurricanes spin?

What makes a solar system spin?
what makes it spin is the force of gravity in space that keep our planets in place anbd how they move.(the solar system is spining right now.)
How do hurricanes spin so fast?
because it does haha!
How large and fast is are hurricanes?
they spin and move fast
Are hurricanes constructive or destructive forces?
A hurricane is a destructive force. When it is formed and makes landfall is destroys or breaks down parts of the Earth.
Which way does a hurricane spin in the gulf of Mexico?
All hurricanes north of the equator spin counterclockwise.
Are hurricanes made by nature or humans?
Hurricanes are made by nature. When a large storm with tall clouds starts giving off a tremendous amount of heat, the coriolis effect caused by the earth's spin makes the storm start rotating.
