Google Coriolis Effect

Answer 2

IF YOU are talking regular winds they would blow depending on what part of  earth is cold area to warm   the presure  of air  rising creates a updraft  leaving  less pressure  sucking in the surrounding air ..

now if you are talking about   hurricanes they spin different then they do in northern hemisphere because  the earth rotates opposite direction to the  north ..

Answer 3

You need to look at a 3d representation to understand how they work, they circulate in tubes of air, which have a spin or on them due to the spin of the earth.

Answer 7

Yes to both. In both the northern and southern hemispheres, the prevailing winds generally blow E->W in the polar and tropical regions (60 to 90 degrees and 0 to 30 degrees latitude, respectively). In between (temperate region), the prevailing winds are westerly.

Answer 8

Just like in the north, they generally blow east-to-west in the tropics (Kenya, India) and west-to-east in the temperate latitudes (Argentina, USA).

Answer 9

I agree with your correspondent 'Bill M'. but would add that in Australia( North coast) they are known by the aboriginal name of 'Willy willies'. 

However, if different parts of the world there are different characteristics to the wind. 

Given the tropical storms. 

In the latitudes of 30 N & S you have the Trade Winds that blow from NE & SE, N & S hemispheres respectively. They are strong steady winds that do not gust'. 

In latitides of 50 N & S you have the Westerlies, these are Depressions that move from West to East , but are characterised by winds that gust and change direction. 

In the Polar regions you can have calm  or Winter Blizzards. 

Answer 10

Just like in the north, they generally blow east-to-west in the tropics (Kenya, India) and west-to-east in the temperate latitudes (Argentina, USA).
