In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?

In the southern hemisphere, hurricanes are called cyclones and they rotate counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes a deflection of winds to the left in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones can bring destructive winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges to coastal areas.


In which direction does the earth rotate looking up at the north pole?

When looking up at the North Pole from above, the Earth appears to rotate counterclockwise or eastward. This rotation gives us our day and night cycle as different parts of the Earth are either facing towards or away from the Sun.


The Coriolis effect influences what?

The Coriolis effect influences the direction of moving objects on the surface of the Earth, causing them to curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. It has significant implications in atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns, as well as in the direction of ocean currents and winds.


North of the equator flushing of toilet water turns counter clock wise Does flushing water turn clock wise south of the equator?

The initial statement is false. Water doesn't 'turn' one way or the other when you flush due to location north or south of the equator. It has everything to do with the shape/size etc. of the bowl, and nothing to do with geographic location!


Do tornadoes spin clock wise or counter clock wise?

It depends what hemisphere your in. If your in the northern hemisphere, 999 out of a 1,000 Tornadoes will spin counter clock wise. In the southern hemisphere 999 out of a 1,000 with spin clock wise. BUT that doesn't mean you will never see a clock or counter clock wise tornado in the same hemispheres. If you get a counter clock wise or clock wise tornado in the opposite hemispheres (which would be rare or... EXTREMELY rare! Which would be 1% of the spin cycle) the normal one will be coupled with the non normal one.

What is clock wise?

Turning something 'clockwise' would be turning it in the direction the hands on a clock turns. 'Counter-clockwise' would be turning it the opposite direction of a clock. I always remember anti-clockwise from clockwise, by which way a clock turns for clockwise, and the opposite way of a clock turning for anti-clockwise.
