1. In the Northern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate counterclockwise.
2. In the Southern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate clockwise.
3. The direction of cyclone rotation is independent of the hemisphere.

• A. i മാത്രം
• B. iii മാത്രം
• C. i, ii
• D. ii, iii

Answer 1

Answer:

B. iii മാത്രം

• In the Northern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect.

• In the Southern Hemisphere, cyclones rotate clockwise for the same reason.

• The Coriolis effect causes the apparent deflection of moving air and is dependent on the hemisphere, making the direction of cyclone rotation hemisphere-dependent, not independent
