How do hurricanes rotate in both Southern and Northern hemispheres?
Yes. By definition a hurricane must rotate, however, they rotate in opposite directions. Storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
Do tornadoes always spin clockwise?
No. Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. Most southern hemisphere tornadoes spin clockwise. There are also anticyclonic tornadoes, which spin in the opposite direction than is normal for their hemispheres. Only about .1% to 1% of tornadoes are anticyclonic.
Why do toilets flush counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
They don't. That is a myth. The direction that a toilet flushes depends on how the toilet is designed, not what hemisphere it's in. Due to the Coriolis Effect, large scale weather systems and ocean currents rotate in opposite directions in opposite hemispheres, but this effect does not influence things on the scale of toilet bowls.
How will the winds of blowing out of a pressure system in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere blow?
They will blow in opposite directions.
If the earth stopped revolving when the northern hemisphere was pointed towards the sun would you have longer nights or days?
All you would have is a day where the Northern Hemisphere was pointed at the sun. The side opposite would be in permanent night. it would have nothing to do with Hemispheres but with which side is pointed to the sun. Alternate: If by 'pointed towards' you mean at the same angle as the current tilt, then the answer would be a little different. But the answer would depend on where you are. Or are you one of the many who assume that the northern hemisphere is the only one? If you are in the northern hemisphere, you would have longer daytime periods than night. It would be opposite in the southern hemisphere.
What hemispheres have opposite seasons?
Northern and Southern Hemisphere's have opposite seasons due the earth tilting.
What causes the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres?
The primary reason for the difference between the northern and southern hemispheres is the Earth's axial tilt. This tilt causes variations in the angle at which sunlight reaches each hemisphere, leading to seasonal changes in temperature and daylight hours. Additionally, the distribution of landmasses and oceans between the two hemispheres can also affect climate patterns.
The opposite side of the world is called?
The world is divided into Northern and Southern Hemispheres and Eastern and Western Hemispheres. If you are in England then the opposite side of the world is the Southern Hemisphere from one pole to the other or the Eastern Hemisphere from one side of the Earth to the other.
If it is mid winter in Australia what season is it in America?
If it is winter in Australia, it is summer in the US. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres have opposite seasons.
What season takes place in the southern hemisphere at this time?
It is in spring!
Do eastern and western hemisphere have different seasons?
-- Eastern and western hemispheres have the same seasons at the same time.-- Northern and southern hemispheres have the same seasons six months apart.
How do hurricanes rotate in both Southern and Northern hemispheres?
Yes. By definition a hurricane must rotate, however, they rotate in opposite directions. Storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise.
why does it snow in some places on Christmas, whereas in other places its Summer?
it is because of the southern and Northern Hemispheres. If you are in the southern hemisphere then it won't snow much, where as in the northern hemisphere it will because it is colder, whereas in the southern hemisphere it is warmer.
Why do people snow ski in Australia in the northern hemispheres summer months?
Each season is opposite in the southern hemisphere.North: Spring South: FallNorth: Summer South: Winteretc. etc.
Are the seasons in the Northern Hemisphere and the southern hemisphere the same?
No, it does not. When it is winter in one hemisphere, it is summer in the other. When it is fall in one, it is spring in the other.Yes, thats why we associate snow with Christmas (except for locations near the equator).
Why do the teams of Indian scientist leave for Antarctica during winters and come back before summer?
The seasons are reversed between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Scientists who leave the Northern Hemisphere -- in the fall, for example, arrive in the Southern Hemisphere, which is experiencing exactly the opposite season -- spring.
What hemisphere of the earth experience opposite season?
The Northern and Southern Hemisphere
