What direction would a hurricane forming off western Africa take as it approached North America?
The direction taken by a hurricane which would form off Western Africa as it approached North America.
The major currents on the Earth would get deflected either to right (east) or left (west) under the effect of Coriolis force. The Coriolis force of the Earth causes the currents in the Northern Hemisphere to get deflected to the right and hence, moves in the clockwise direction and the cu...
