What hemisphere are the tropical rainforests in?
Tropical rain forests are found on either side of the equator, in both northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere
Which way do winds rotate in a tropical depression?
Winds in a tropical depression rotate counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
What is a coriolis in a hurricane?
This is the effect of the spinning earth on the axis. It cause Tropical storms to rotate anti clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. It also causes the track of the Hurricane to bend to the right in the northern hemisphere and left in the southern hemisphere.
Is the direction of a hurricane always counterclockwise or clockwise?
Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes and similar storms) rotate counterclockwise when they occur in the northern hemisphere and clockwise when they occur in the southern hemisphere. Since the term hurricane applies to a tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere, a hurricane will always rotate counter clockwise. However, aside from the direction of rotation there is no real difference between northern and southern hemisphere tropical cyclones.
Does a hurricane spin clockwise?
It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the southern hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different tropical storms in the southern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
How are tropical storms in the northern hemisphere different from tropical storms in the northern hemisphere?
Tropical storms in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise while those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise.
What hemisphere are the tropical rainforests in?
Tropical rain forests are found on either side of the equator, in both northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere
Which way do winds rotate in a tropical depression?
Winds in a tropical depression rotate counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere and clockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.
Does tropical storm spin the other way?
The spin is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Where on earth does tropical cyclones never occur?
in the northern or southern areas of our hemisphere
What is the latitude of Savanna?
Savanna areas occupy mostly southern hemisphere Tropical latitudes, but can exist in northern hemisphere.
What is a coriolis in a hurricane?

Do hurricanes typhoons and tropical cyclones all spin counterclockwise?
Only in the northern hemisphere. Those in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Does the direction of the hurricane depend on the hemisphere where the hurricane occurs?
Yes. Hurricanes (generically called tropical cyclones) rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Where is the tropical climate?
Tropical climates are in the Southern Hemisphere of the world. The whether is warmer and more favorable in the Southern Hemisphere.
