I WONDER - Do All Hurricanes Spin In The Same Direction?

The video explains the division of Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres, marked by the Equator. It describes how hurricanes spin counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere, where they are also known as cyclones. This phenomenon is attributed to the Coriolis effect, which influences the movement of air and water as the Earth rotates.

What imaginary line divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?

• Prime Meridian

• Equator

• Tropic of Cancer

• Tropic of Capricorn

In which direction do hurricanes spin in the Northern Hemisphere?

• Vertically

• Horizontally

• Counterclockwise

• Clockwise

What is the term used for hurricanes in the Southern Hemisphere?

• Tornadoes

• Typhoons

• Cyclones

• Monsoons

What effect explains the movement of air and water around the Earth?

• Magnetic Effect

• Greenhouse Effect

• Tidal Effect

• Coriolis Effect

Why do hurricanes spin differently in each hemisphere?

• Because of ocean currents

• Because of the Coriolis effect

• Due to the Earth's gravity

• Due to the Earth's magnetic field
