Which phenomenon explains cyclonic rotation reverses across hemispheres?

💡 Explanation

Cyclones rotate differently in each hemisphere because the apparent Coriolis force deflects moving air masses to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere; therefore, rotational direction reverses rather than maintaining consistent direction globally due to inertial effects.
