The Coriolis Effect is an apparent deflection of moving objects when they are viewed from a rotating reference frame.
Moving objects on the surface of the Earth experience a Coriolis force, and appear to veer to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Why do whirlpools rotate clockwise in southern hemisphere?
That is a myth based on the supposed effect of the coriolis force. The rotation of the earth is supposed to impart clockwise motion in fluids in the Southern hemisphere. While this works for atmospheric systems (storms), whirlpools are too small to be so affected: initial and local conditions have much more of an effect.
What instrument would be best to determine how different oxidation states affect the mass of a carbon based compound?
a balance
Why do different rocks have different properties?
Volcanic rocks differ based on the composition of the magma they come from, the manner in which they are erupted, and how quickly they cool. All of these can affect a rock's properties.
What is the philosophy of Applied kinesiology?
Applied kinesiology is based on the idea that the body is an interacting unit made of different parts that interconnect and affect each other
How do the winds move around hurricanes?
There is no set speed at which a hurricane can move. Hurricanes can reach speeds as high as 150 miles per hour or more.

Why do the surface currents move in different direction of the wind?
This is due to temperature and how water with different temperatures react.
How does temperature affect reparation rate of yeast?
Yeast does different things based on temperature.
Why is it that when water is opened in a sink it always turn clockwise?
It doesn't always turn clockwise (assuming you're in the southern hemisphere), that's just an old myth based on the effect of Coriolis force on large scale things such as air masses, but it plays no part on water in a sink or toilet, which are many, many times smaller than a cyclone.

Why Do More Earthquakes Occur In The Northern Hemisphere?
I am not sure that they actually do have more Earthquakes in the Northern hemisphere. However, as the Northern Hemisphere has more land mass than the Southern hemisphere, more land based Earthquakes will inevitably be detected.

What is half of the earth with north poles in it?
The Earth is split into two hemispheres based on the Equator. The North Pole is in the Northern Hemisphere. With the South Pole is in the Southern Hemisphere.
What hemisphere is the meditteranian sea at?
It is in the Northern Hemisphere as opposed to the southern Southern Hemisphere and the majority of the Sea is in the Eastern Hemisphere opposed to the Western Hemispher although this is based off of the Prime Meridian which runs along the 180 line of longitude. Take a look at a map for a better understanding.

What is a good thesis statement for ADHD?
The learning disorder ADHD can affect children in different ways based on their ethnicity, age group, and geographic location
How many hemisphere there in all?
There are four: the northern and southern hemispheres, based on north or south of the Equator, and east or west based on the Prime Meridian.
