The air flowing around a tropical cyclone spins anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere (as does the Earth) as a result of the Coriolis force. They are called Hurricanes over the North Atlantic Ocean / Eastern Pacific (Americas), Typhoons over the Western Pacific (Asia) and Cyclones over the Indian Ocean (Australia and East Africa). Tornados are formed in thunderstorms.
