answers is correct
HELP ME!!!!
Sorry about not proof reading. I think you can figure it out.
The correct answer is "the Coriolis effect". The Coriolis effect is a phenomenon caused by the rotation of the Earth. In the Northern Hemisphere, this effect causes moving air to be deflected to the right relative to its direction of motion. This deflection is what causes hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere to rotate counterclockwise. Essentially, the Coriolis effect influences the direction of the wind flow in large-scale weather systems like hurricanes.
To understand how the Coriolis effect works, imagine you are standing on the Earth's surface at the Equator, looking towards the North Pole. As you move towards the pole, you will notice that the Earth's surface beneath you is rotating faster than the air around you. This difference in rotational speed between you and the Earth's surface creates the Coriolis effect.
To get this answer, you could have eliminated the other options by understanding their roles in hurricanes. The Saffir-Simpson scale is a rating system used to categorize hurricanes based on their maximum sustained wind speeds and potential damage. Ocean temperatures are important for the formation and intensification of hurricanes, but they do not determine the direction of rotation. The strength of the eyewall is a component of the hurricane, but it does not affect the overall rotational direction. Thus, the Coriolis effect is the primary factor responsible for the counterclockwise rotation of hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere.
the sun rises in the east
so here in the northern hemisphere we the ground is moving toward the east
the closer you are to the north pole, the slower the ground is moving east
an air particle is not attached to the ground
so
if an air particle is sucked north, it is moving faster east than the ground up north, it looks like it is moving east from the ground
if an air particle is sucked south, it is moving east slower than the new ground and falls west
that is counterclockwise around the sucking point:)
It is opposite in the southern hemisphere of course
That is a quick picture of Coriolis Effect :)
