Is your question what makes the swirl move?
I know what makes it move, and why it spins.
What I'm getting at is, if not for the rotation and curve of the earth, they wouldn't always spin the same way on each side of the equator.

So then I ask what makes the earth move?
Does it matter? It's irrelevant to the fact it does spin and the spin of low/high pressure systems in each hemisphere are consequences of that fact.

You’ve said this multiple times. Can you explain this better? I’m having a hard time visualizing.
“Northerly-westerly” and “southerly-easterly” both seem like counterclockwise to me.

Sure. Look down like you're over a map. Move your finger in a northwest arc and then complete that circle. Now move your finger in a southeast arc and complete that circle.

That’s the same rotational direction

Counter-clockwise

Also, counter-clockwise

Y'all are crazy. I can't help you. The NW arc to circle goes counterclockwise. The SE arc to circle goes clockwise

Here. Why can't you morons conceptualize anything?

I guess I thought that your giant ccw swirl had some logic behind it. In that it somehow formed the northern and southern rotations. Clearly it’s just magical thinking, though. Got it, thanks.

So what is special about the flat earth "equator" that makes storms behave the way they do? I can tell you what's special about the equator on a globe.

No no no. Let's not move on past the fact that you all deny basic spatial reasoning. You all said I was wrong. I literally had to draw it for you. I was right. Once again you've moved on to something else.

I wonder if there has been any research into the specific mental deficiency that causes flat earth true believers to be unable to get a grasp on three dimensional space. I know that some people are better at it than others, and that it is a skill that can or has to be learned. But I wonder if there is a particular area in the brain responsible for it that is just shut down for some people. I mean clearly these people are able to learn and retain things, and maybe even have their own original thoughts, so they aren't full blown retarded. There has to be something missing though, right? Something that just doesn't click when it comes to spatial awareness and conceptualization.

You were a “I’m taking my ball and going home” kid when you were younger weren’t you?
