🔍 Key Concepts

• General paths of hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere • Effect of the Coriolis force on storm movement • Typical vs. rare directions of storm tracks as they curve away from the equator

💭 Think About

• Visualize a hurricane forming east of the Caribbean or in the Atlantic tropics—what direction does it usually start moving? • As the storm moves into higher latitudes, does its track tend to bend toward or away from the poles and toward or away from the east? • Which of the listed directions would go against the common recurving pattern of Northern Hemisphere hurricanes?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed direction is least consistent with the common west-then-curving path of Atlantic hurricanes • Consider which of the directions would move the storm back toward the equator instead of away from it • Check which option would typically be mentioned in training materials as a rare and short-lived motion for hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere
