The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth’s rotation, determines the direction hurricanes turn in the Northern Hemisphere. As hurricanes move towards the pole, they are deflected to the right, resulting in a counterclockwise rotation. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes hurricanes to turn to the left, resulting in a clockwise rotation. This phenomenon plays a crucial role in hurricane development and trajectory.
