In the northern hemisphere, every low pressure area in a fluid rotates counterclockwise (to the left). This arises as a consequence of the rotation of the earth. If we were together and could make a drawing on paper, I could explain it clearly, but here on WikiAnswers we're limited to text, and it would just be too confusing to try to explain it completely in words. If you want to see a detailed explanation including drawings, leave your e-mail address on my message board, and remind me there of what you're looking for.

What is a coriolis in a hurricane?

What do you call spinning in a counterclockwise direction?

It is very doubtful that there is any spiritual meaning to this.
What is the name of a storm in which rapidly spinning air becaomes very dangerous?

Can you rewire a garbage disposal to reverse the direction it is spinning?
I have a newer garbage disposal that is spinning counter clockwise and I believe that it should be turning clockwise. Can I reverse the wiring to make it switch directions?
What are two main parts of a hurricane?
The eye of low pressure and the spinning vortex of high wind speeds
Why do some planets rotate clockwise while others rotate counterclockwise?
Probably because an asteroid knocked them into spinning that way.
What is the origin of the superstition break a bad luck spell by spinning clockwise seven times?
The superstition of breaking a bad luck spell by spinning clockwise seven times is rooted in various cultural beliefs about numbers and directions.
