How Hurricanes Form? Why Hurricanes Spin AntiClockwise in North and Clockwise in Southern Hemisphere

The video explains the similarities and differences in the spinning directions of cyclones, hurricanes, and typhoons, which are all types of tropical cyclones. It discusses how these storms are named based on their geographical origins and how they form over warm ocean waters. The Coriolis effect, a phenomenon caused by Earth's rotation, is explained as the reason for the different spinning directions of cyclones in the northern and southern hemispheres. The video also covers how Earth's rotation speed varies at different latitudes, affecting wind patterns and cyclone spin.
