Hurricanes are in a class of storm called tropical cyclones. Such storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In a strict sense, the term hurricane is only applied to tropical cyclones in parts of the northern hemisphere, so they do rotate counterclockwise.
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.
No, hurricanes and typhoons are the same type of storm. The only difference is that a hurricane occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or the Eastern Pacific Ocean, while a Typhoon occurs in the Western Pacific Ocean. Hurricanes and other cyclones spin counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of it.
it refers to the way in which things move. clockwise means the direction that the hands on a clock turn. counter clockwise means the opposite way the hands turn on a clock
clockwise from driver's seat perspective
Summer = clockwise Winter = counter-clockwise
Windmills always turn counterclockwise, but this is an exception to the windmills found in Ireland.
Clockwise to screw in, counterclockwise to remove
It depends on the pitch (angle) of the blades. On most, it's counter-clockwise. Counterclockwise in the summer for cooling and clockwise in the winter for dispersing warm air.
counterclockwise
Most of them spin counterclockwise
No. In the northern hemisphere tornadoes an hurricanes both turn counterclockwise apart from a very small percentage of tornadoes. They turn clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
take it apart and figure it out Nice answer...Not. The answer is counter-clockwise.
Always clockwise.
Counter clock-wise to lossen, clock wise to tighten
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.
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.
