The name for the cause of the spiraling of winds is the Coriolis effect. This effect is a result of Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
the Coriolis effect
Cause by Earth's rotation
The coriolis effect is the apparent curve of a straight moving object (it turns to the Right in the Northern Hempishere). The coriolis effect is caused by different rotation speeds.
Surface currents in the Earth's oceans are mainly caused by the combination of the wind and the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect). The wind pushes the surface water, creating movement, and the Coriolis effect deflects this movement to create currents.
The cause of Coriolis effect is the Earth's rotation and the mass of inertia. The deflection effects the direction of moving bodies on earth surface.

Currents to bend to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.

it's to the right.
Coriolis effect and difference in heat
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes currents to turn to the right. This means that ocean currents tend to flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere as a result of the Coriolis effect.
