What causes the air of a tropical storm to rotate?

Tropical storms rotate as a result of something called the Coriolis effect. This is a consequence of earth's spin that causes the path of anything moving to appear to bend from the perspective of someone standing on earth. In the northern hemisphere paths bend to the right. In the southern hemisphere they turn to the left. This effect is generally negligible over short distances, but over long distances, such as the are of influence of a tropical storm, it becomes significant. In a tropical storm air flows inward due to low pressure, but the Coriolis effect causes the air to change course before reaching the center of lowest pressure. Since this happens to air flowing in from all sides, it causes the whole system to rotate counterclockwise if it is in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise if it is in the southern hemisphere.


Can a cruise ship outrun a tropical storm?

Cruise ships will typically alter their routes to avoid tropical storms rather than trying to outrun them. The large size and slow speed of cruise ships make them vulnerable to severe weather conditions, so it's generally safer to navigate around the storm rather than through it.

Why is a hurricane called a tropical depression?

A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with winds under 39 mph. When winds reach or exceed that limit it is called a tropical storm and is given a name. Tropical depression 9 denotes the 9th tropical cyclone of that year in a particular ocean basin.

How long does a hurricane last on water?

Well,it depens if the water is warm than it's a tropical storm and the more warm water the more stronger the storm gets.iIt can last a while..Typically tropical cyclones last about 10 days over water. This is mostly due to our planet's geography where hurricanes are formed off the coast of Africa and travels at about 20 mph towards the central and north America. Once it makes lands fall or cooler water in the north Atlantic storm dissipates in about 2-3 days.
