Answer: "Coriolis effect."

Step-by-step explanation:

A hurricane's spin and the spin's direction is determined by a super-powerful phenomenon called the "Coriolis effect." It causes the path of fluids — everything from particles in the air to currents in the ocean — to curve as they travel across and over Earth's surfaces.
