Does the direction of the hurricane depend on the hemisphere where the hurricane occurs?
Yes. Hurricanes (generically called tropical cyclones) rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
How do northern and southern hemisphere differ for hurricance?
There is no such thing as a hurricane! What is your problem people. GET REAL!! Like sereiously, who would want to know "how the northern and southern hemisphere differ for hurricane"? Well the answer is that hurricanes are not real, they are a mith.
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.
Do hurricanes turn in a counter-clockwise direction?
Sort of. Pulling air inward and the formation of a circulation are necessary for a hurricane to develop, but they are also consequences of the low pressure area that is the precursor of a hurricane, which is powered by warm, moist air.
What Causes the Swirling Shape Of A Hurricane?
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.
When does hurricane season starts?
Hurricane season officially starts on June 1st for the northern hemisphere, and November 1st for the southern hemisphere. Hurricane season lasts for 6 months, ending on November 30th for the northern hemisphere, and June 30th for the southern hemisphere.
What is a coriolis in a hurricane?
This is the effect of the spinning earth on the axis. It cause Tropical storms to rotate anti clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. It also causes the track of the Hurricane to bend to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.
Does the direction of the hurricane depend on the hemisphere where the hurricane occurs?
Yes. Hurricanes (generically called tropical cyclones) rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
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.
What is the first day of winter in southern hemisphere?

Does a hurricane spin clockwise?
It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the southern hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.
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 or false hurricanes rotate in a counter clockwise direction?
It is true that in the northern hemisphere, a hurricane rotates counterclockwise (anticlockwise in British English).In the Southern Hemisphere, the hurricane rotates clockwise.
What does a hurricane rotate in?
Counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise inthe Southern Hemisphere, though they are more often called cyclones in the latter.
How can you tell what hemisphere a hurricane is in?
By looking at a satellite image. If the cloud bands spiral inwards and counterclockwise it is in the northern hemisphere. If they spiral inwards and clockwise it is in the southern hemisphere.
Is the direction of a hurricane always counterclockwise or clockwise?
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) rotate counterclockwise when they occur in the northern hemisphere and clockwise when they occur in the southern hemisphere. Since the term hurricane applies to a tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere, a hurricane will always rotate counter clockwise. However, aside from the direction of rotation there is no real difference between northern and southern hemisphere tropical cyclones.
