Hurricanes spin counterclockwise (like all low pressure centers in the northern hemisphere) because of the Coriolis Effect. Because the equator rotates faster than other areas of the Earth's surface, ...

When multi-joint reaching movements are made within a rotating reference frame, additional interaction torques are generated in the form of Coriolis forces. Coriolis forces are a function of the cross ...

Winds always rotate in a counterclockwise sense around hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere. Winds in tornadoes usually rotate counterclockwise, but in perhaps five percent of tornadoes, clockwise ...

We have all been taught in school that planets revolve in the same direction as the Earth, i.e., in the counterclockwise direction. However, the universe never ceases to amaze us with its unexpected ...
