Why can't a hurricane pass from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere?
Example: Snow doesn't fall in the summer for the same reason.In Fall, the Northern Hemisphere is growing colder than the Southern Hemisphere. Hurricanes form north of the equator because they are the process of water vapor cooling to form rainclouds, as condensation turns gas into liquid.The hurricane requires energy in the form of heat and high pressure to fuel the storm and continue sucking more water from the ocean or bodies of water. The hot, heavy air around the tropical storm is sucked in by the cool, low pressure rainclouds.So the actual change from Summer to Fall in the Northern Hemisphere is what fuels the hurricane. Everything south of the Equator - which divides the world in half - is growing warmer and heavier from the heat of the sun.Hurricanes suck up all the warm, heavy water vapor left in the Northern Hemisphere that it can before the storm cools off and all the water turns into rain or ice, by equalizing the storm's temperature and pressure with the atmosphere.This is why a tropical storm can become a category 5 hurricane. It begins to gain momentum from water vapor in the ocean cooling rapidly as the seasons start to change. If it doesn't suck up enough hot air to cool it down before reaching land, the tropical storm won't become a hurricane.Q: Why can't a hurricane pass from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere?A: The Southern Hemisphere is growing warmer than the Northern Hemisphere during hurricane season, so the water vapor in the Southern Hemisphere no longer has a chance to cool off, and form a low pressure rainstorm. The Equator acts like a high pressure blanket while the sun heats up the southern half of the earth and the north cools and condenses water vapor into rain.Keep in mind, all of what I just wrote is memory and logic from high school environmental science class. I might have made a mistake. This was fun to write though, it got me thinking after not being in school for 2 years!!
Are the polar ice caps at the same level as in 1979?
Yes Ice levels had been tracking lower throughout much of 2008, but rapidly recovered in the last quarter. In fact, the rate of increase from September onward is the fastest rate of change on record, either upwards or downwards. The data is being reported by the University of Illinois's Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions.
Does the temperature increases rapidly after ionosphere?
ionosphere
Which direction does air flow in a cyclone?
Counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
The nearly perfect spherical shape of the moon is an indication that it is spinning very rapidly?
It is not spinning at all.
What is a dense rapidly spinning star?
Studying star and star types can be fun, but it can be challenging to remember each type. A Neuron star is a dense, rapidly spinning star.

How was the rotation rate of Jupiter's core determined?
by radio observations of Jupiter's rapidly spinning magnetosphere
Where would you expect to find a pulsar?
A pulsar is a rapidly-spinning neutron star, the remains of a supernova explosion.
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.
