Which mechanism causes cyclones to rotate counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?

💡 Explanation

When a cyclone forms, the Coriolis effect deflects moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because the Earth rotates, influencing path relative to Earth, creating rotation. Therefore, counter-clockwise rotation arises, rather than a differing direction which involve reversal of Earth spin, or thermal effects.
