Counter-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, and clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
In what direction did the tropical cyclone move?
In a flow diagram of cyclone formation, the first step is typically warm ocean waters heating the air above them, causing it to rise and creating an area of low pressure. Next, as the air rises and cools, it condenses to form clouds and releases heat, fueling further air movement. The rotating winds of a developing cyclone are then influenced by the Earth's rotation, known as the Coriolis effect, leading to the cyclonic circulation pattern characteristic of cyclones.
The flow aloft aids the formation of cyclones at the surface by pushing air into the vector. This increases the strength, speed and velocity and builds up the pressure as the cyclone develops.
If they're called Westerlies, they blow from the west. These winds blow in the mid-latitudes in both hemispheres. They blow in the same direction because air tends to flow towards the poles at those latitudes, getting deflected by the coriolis force at the same time.
Friction tends to slow down the air near the surface, affecting the inner portions of cyclones and anticyclones. It causes the air to move slightly inward towards low-pressure cyclones and slightly outward from high-pressure anticyclones. In general, friction weakens the circulation of both cyclones and anticyclones.
Wind in a cyclone moves counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
Winds flow upwards from the eye in a cyclone, because the warm air from the sea rises. This is in addition to winds flowing in a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere and an anti-clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.

To determine the direction of air flow in an AC unit, you can hold a tissue or a lightweight piece of paper near the vents. The direction the paper moves will indicate the direction of the air flow.
Air will flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
Friction affects the net flow of air around cyclones by slowing down the wind speeds near the surface, which leads to a convergence of air toward the center of the cyclone. This convergence causes air to rise, reinforcing the low-pressure system and enhancing the cyclone's strength. As a result, the airflow is altered from a purely circular pattern to a more inward and upward movement, contributing to the cyclone's development and intensity.
The air flow direction diagram for an air conditioner indicates how the air moves through the system, showing where the air is being drawn in and where it is being expelled.
Yes, as it can flow in all direction.
In an anticyclone the air moves in the opposite direction of a cyclone. In the North Hemisphere the air blows counter clockwise and in the Southern Hemispere the air blows clockwise.
Yes, air flows from hot to cold.
