A tornado in the Southern Hemisphere is still called a tornado.
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
In most cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere rotate clockwise. A few tornadoes, accounting for about 1 tornado in every thousand, will rotate in the "wrong" direction. These are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
Yes, tornadoes in the southern hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth and influences the direction of rotation of weather systems in different hemispheres.
Aurora Borealis for the northern ones, and Aurora Australis for the southern ones.
Yes, tornadoes in the Northern Hemisphere typically rotate counterclockwise, while tornadoes in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. This rotation is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation.
A tornado that spins in the opposite direction is known as an anticyclonic tornado. These tornadoes are rare and rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Tornadoes nearly always spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere with the exception of about 1% which are called anticyclonic tornadoes.
That's called the Earth's "southern 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.
The winds in a tornado spin, so the wind itself can come from any direction. Except for rare cases, tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
There is no real word that starts with "a" that means tornado. However there is something called an anticyclonic tornado. An anticyclonic tornado is a rare variety of tornado that spins opposite of the normal direction (i.e. it spins clockwise if in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if in the southern.)
The four hemispheres are called the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Westhern Hemisphere.
Northern hemisphere polar regions are called the ARCTIC. Southern hemisphere polar regions are called the ANTARCTIC.
counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern hemisphere. However, about 0.1-1% of tornadoes are exceptions to this.
In the northern hemisphere the right side of a tornado is generally worse. Since most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere rotate clockwise the winds right side of the tornado will be equal to the speed at which it spins plus the speed it is moving at. The opposite is true in the southern hemisphere.
Most tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
