Spiraling winds in hurricanes are caused by the Coriolis effect, which results from the Earth's rotation. As warm, moist air rises at the center of the storm, it creates a low-pressure area that draws in surrounding air. This incoming air is deflected due to the Coriolis effect, causing it to spiral inward and upward around the storm's eye. Additionally, the conservation of angular momentum helps maintain the rotation and tight structure of the wind patterns.
