The earth's rotation also imparts a force (termed the Coriolis Force or Coriolis Effect). This force causes cyclonic systems to move toward the earth's poles in the absence of strong steering currents. Tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere are deflected toward the north pole and cyclones in the Southern Hemisphere are deflected toward the South Pole, if no strong pressure systems are counteracting the Coriolis Force.

When a tropical cyclone moves into higher latitudes, its general track around a high-pressure area can be deflected toward a low-pressure area.

Temperature differentials, surface drag, trade winds and the jet stream all play a part in the path a hurricane takes.
