Why do water in the southern hemisphere turn clockwise down the drain and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere?
Oska2006
it has nothing to do with the hemispheres, it depends on the shape of the drain. It can go either direction in both hemispheres

Do Japanese toilets flush clockwise or anticlockwise?
anticlockwise. (All toilets in the Northern Hemisphere flush clockwise, all toilets in Southern Hemisphere flush anticlockwise.)
What is meant by cyclone nisha?
A cyclone is an area of low pressure in which the winds blow in an anticlockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in southern hemisphere.
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.
Which direction does the wind blow in a low and a high pressure system?
It would blow from the mass of high pressure to the mass of low pressure.Answer 2Looking down from a satellite, the northern hemisphere high pressure systems move in a clockwise direction and anticlockwise in the southern hemisphere.Low pressure systems are the reverse of these, IE clockwise in the southern hemisphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Which direction does air flow in a cyclone?
Counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
What direction is the Coriolis effect in the northern and southern hemisphere?
In the Northern hemisphere, the direction is clockwise... In the Southern, it turns anti-clockwise.
Why do permanent winds get deflected towards the right or left in the northern and southern hemispheres while blowing?
The coriolis effect caused by Earth's rotation results in winds getting deflected to the right (clockwise) in the northern hemisphere and the left (anticlockwise) in the southern hemisphere.
Which way do currents move in the northern hemisphere southern hemisphere?
Currents in the Northern Hemisphere move in a clockwise direction. Currents in the Southern Hemisphere move in a counter clockwise direction.
Why do tornadoes spin different ways?
on the southern hemisphere tornadoes spin clockwise and on the north hemisphere tornadoes spin anticlockwise
Do high pressure systems move clockwise or counterclockwise?
In the northern hemisphere wind blow around high-pressure systems in a clockwise direction. In the southern hemisphere, the wind blow is in the opposite (anticlockwise) direction.
What way do cyclones move?
Cyclones (which are always low pressure weather systems) spin in a clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere (as viewed from space). Anticyclone refers to a system rotating on the reverse direction so: anti-clockwise direction in the southern hemsiphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere. The word typhoon is sometimes used to refer to a cyclone that forms in the Pacific northwest, and the word hurricane to a cyclone that forms in the Atlantic or east Pacific.
