Do currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?

Yes, in the northern hemisphere the currents flow clockwise.


How will a wind blowing to the south in the northern hemisphere be affected by the corioils effect?

The Coriolis effect influences wind direction around the world in this way: in the Northern Hemisphere it curves winds to the right; in the Southern Hemisphere it curves them left. ... In these systems there is a balance between the Coriolis effect and the pressure gradient force and the winds flow in reverse.


What happens if a conventional flow and a electron flow meet?

What do you mean with "meet"? Conventional flow and electron flow are not two types of currents. They are two ways to analyze the SAME currents.


Difference between cold and warm currents?

Warm currents are warm whereas cold currents are cold. Warm currents flow from the equatorial regions towards the polar regions whereas cold currents flow from the polar regions to the equatorial regions. By- Avyukt Sharma


How will the winds blowing out of a high pressure system in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere blow?

In the Northern Hemisphere, winds blowing out of a high-pressure system generally rotate in a clockwise direction. This pattern is known as anticyclonic flow. The air moves downward and outward from the center of the high-pressure system, resulting in a clockwise circulation around the area of high pressure. In the Southern Hemisphere, the winds blowing out of a high-pressure system rotate in a counterclockwise direction. This pattern is known as cyclonic flow. The air moves downward and outward from the center of the high-pressure system, causing a counterclockwise circulation around the area of high pressure. These wind patterns are a result of the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the rotation of the Earth. The Coriolis effect causes moving air to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the observed clockwise and counterclockwise wind patterns around high-pressure systems, respectively.

Why are the gyres in the northern hemisphere separate from the gyres in the southern hemisphere?

The currents flow in opposite directions due to the Coriolis effect.


What direction do cold currents flow in the northern hemisphere?

warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.


Which way do currents rotate in the southern hemisphere?

The gyres rotate counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
