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.


What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?

Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.

Describe the “clock” direction of surface currents in the Northern Hemisphere.?

The Coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion. In the Southern Hemisphere, ocean currents are pushed to the left, in a counterclockwise motion.


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.
