explain how hurricanes always spin counter-clockwise and in the northern hemisphere, and spin clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and also never cross the equator. how do you explain the Coriolis effect on a flat earth. if u cant answer this validly than why do you believe the earth is flat
I suggest you consider that currents in the ocean travel in different directions...
I also suggest you retract your false statement hurricanes never cross the equator.
Ocean currents are influenced by other factors such that coriolis is not always the major force.
Once every couple of hundred years you may get a NH storm crossing the equator when other factors take precedence, such as monsoon winds or terrain.
Try to find an up to date synoptic chart showing wind behaving differently to that described by the OP.
Aye right... find a FE to explain how a King Tide works You will enjoy that discussion.
Incidentally, no hurricanes have crossed the equator.
Well that’s kind of right. But there was Vamei in 2001 which ended up straddling the equator. I only mentioned it because TotalSomeguy went full pedant.
So the OP remains unchallenged, I say.
Obviously, all I have to go by is what has been recorded. I did look at the flimsy resource central (Wikipedia) and someone at least posted a listing of hurricanes and typhoons that got close.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_near-Equatorial_tropical_cyclonesI'm sure we are splitting hairs here but, I would concede that if a powerful enough storm was traversing to cross the equator, it might have sufficient force to carry it over the equator but, it would eventually succumb to the effects we are discussing. So, is there a magical hand that swoops down and kills a storm at the instant it touches the equator... very doubtful
