What causes cyclones to rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
A. the Coriolis Effect
B. the jet stream
C.low-pressure air moving upwards
D. prevailing winds

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

As the air rushes toward the center, it winds up moving in a curved path thanks to the Coriolis effect. This creates a circular spinning pattern as air travels from areas of high pressure to low pressure. That's why hurricanes originating in the northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

Answer: the Coriolis Effect

Explanation:

The Coriolis Effect causes the cyclones to rotate counter-clockwise north of the Equator and clockwise south of the Equator.
