It is a hurricane that forms under the equater. In the northern hemisphere hurricanes turn counter-clockwise. They are called Typhoons in the Southern Hemisphere and recently a Hurricane was seen to cross the equator which is very worrying for our future climate.

In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.
Do all hurricanes spin the same way?
cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!">Yes they do all spin the same way ~ counter clockwise. But in Australia, they spin clockwise because of they are in the southern hemisphere, while a hurricane is the same type of storm in the northern hemisphere. They call them cyclones. We say hurricanes. Thank you for asking such an educated question! Your welcome and bye!
How fast can a hurricane spin?
75-200mph
In which direction does a hurricane spiral rotate in the northen hemisphere clockwise or counterclockwise?
a hurricane rotates counterclockwise
What causes a hurricane to spin?
A hurricane's spin is a result of a the Coriolis effect. a consequence of the earth's spin. The low pressure in a hurricane draws air toward the center of a hurricane, however, as a result of earth's spin wind currents in the northern hemisphere get deflected to the right, this actually reduces the change in velocity further away from the center of lowest pressure. As a consequence, this gives the storm a counterclockwise spin. The effect is reversed in the southern hemisphere.
Has there been a hurricane that spin clockwise in the pacific?
Tropical cyclones that occur south of the equator spin clockwise, but they are not called hurricanes in the southern hemisphere.
Do hurricanes turn in a counter-clockwise direction?
Sort of. Pulling air inward and the formation of a circulation are necessary for a hurricane to develop, but they are also consequences of the low pressure area that is the precursor of a hurricane, which is powered by warm, moist air.
Do hurricane's violent winds spin counterclockwise around the center or eye?
North of the equator, yes. South of the equator, they spin clockwise. Wind direction is affected by the spin of the Earth.
In the southern hemisphere hurricanes rotate?
Hurricanes spin clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Hurricanes in the Northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise. Hurricanes in the Southern hemisphere are called cyclones.
What way does hurricane spin?
The hurricane spins counterclockwise due to the Coriolis force In the north if Canada was in the south it would spin clockwise. this happens because as the earth spins it veers the winds in the north west and in the south east
Do tornados spin clockwise?
Most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counter clockwise while most in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
How to find electrons having clockwise spin and anti clockwise spin in an atom?
by looking at it
Do planets rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
They spin clockwise
Do tornadoes spin anti-clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
No, normally tornadoes spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Can L drago beyblade spin clockwise?
Yes, L-Drago Beyblades can spin in either direction - clockwise or counterclockwise.
Do tornadoes spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere?
Yes. The vast majority of tornadoes in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise.
Which way do storms that form north of the equator spin?
hurricanes north of the equtor spin counter clockwise and south is clockwise
