🔍 Key Concepts

• Remember that in the Southern Hemisphere, winds around a low-pressure system (like a tropical cyclone) rotate clockwise. • Think about how these systems are steered by the trade winds and then by the prevailing westerlies as they move away from the equator. • Contrast typical cyclone tracks in the Northern Hemisphere with those in the Southern Hemisphere to avoid mixing them up.

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Near the equator in the Southern Hemisphere, in which general direction do the trade winds push weather systems? • As a tropical cyclone moves to higher latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, how does the prevailing wind pattern change its track? • Consider: Does the track tend to curve toward the pole and then back toward the east, or in some other pattern?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which answer choice shows a path that starts in the tropics and then curves away from the equator before turning more eastward. • Eliminate any option that matches the Northern Hemisphere pattern rather than the Southern Hemisphere. • Check that the sequence of directions forms a smooth, realistic curve, not a sharp or unlikely change in direction.
