Advantage and disadvantage of wind vane?

Advantage: Wind vanes are simple and low-cost devices that can accurately indicate wind direction, helping in weather forecasting, navigation, and wind energy generation. Disadvantage: Wind vanes only provide information on wind direction and not wind speed, limiting their usefulness in certain applications that require both parameters.


What effects causes hurricanes to have their swirl?

Hurricanes swirl due to the Earth's rotation, known as the Coriolis effect. As air moves from high to low pressure in a hurricane, the Coriolis effect causes it to bend, creating the distinctive circular motion. This swirling motion is essential for the development and intensification of hurricanes.
