Why does a whirlpool spin counter clockwise?

A whirlpool spins counter clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, a phenomenon caused by the Earth's rotation. This effect influences the direction of fluid motion, causing water to rotate counterclockwise around a low-pressure system in the Northern Hemisphere.
