What you are talking about is the Coriolis effect. In the northern hemisphere currents rotate in a clockwise rotation and in the Southern Hemisphere current rotation is in an anti clockwise rotation.

When I dipped my finger into the water, the water transferred in the opposite direction to my finger's movement.


Why the whirlpools in opposite direction spin opposite?

The Coriolis effect causes the direction of rotation to be opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This effect is a result of the Earth's rotation impacting the movement of fluids such as water in the oceans, influencing the direction of whirlpools in opposite hemispheres.


How do you determine the upstream of a river?

Water always flows down a river, so upstream is the opposite direction from the direction in which the water flows.


What is cuurrent?

Not sure what a suface cuurrent is. In deep water, there often are currents that flow in different directions at different depths. A surface current will flow in one direction, near the surface, while there will be a current flowing in the opposite direction deeper down.

What direction does buoyancy it push?

Buoyancy pushes an object upwards, opposite to the direction of gravity. It is the force that allows objects to float in a fluid, like water.


Which direction does up thrust act in?

Upthrust, also known as buoyancy force, acts opposite to the direction of gravity. It pushes objects upward when they are submerged in a fluid, such as water.


What physics principle explains why a water sprinkler spins?

The principle of conservation of angular momentum explains why a water sprinkler spins. As the water exits the sprinkler nozzle in one direction, an equal and opposite reaction force is applied in the opposite direction, causing the sprinkler to rotate. This rotation continues due to the conservation of angular momentum in the system.


What is the opposite force to water resistance?

The opposite force to water resistance is propulsion, which is the force generated by a watercraft's engine or other means to drive it forward through the water. It helps to overcome the resistance caused by the water and move the object in the desired direction.
