Answer to Question 1

The global circulation pattern shows easterly winds at the equator, and westerly
winds at middle latitudes. These winds are part of large high-pressure systems that
rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern
Hemisphere. The general directions of cyclone movement closely match these circulation
patterns.



Answer to Question 2

Yes  they appear to be rotating clockwise.
