Cause and Effect 🟪 In this text structure, the reason something happens is the cause. What happens as a result is the effect. (Use a cause-effect chart.)

Did you know that cyclones above the equator spin counter-clockwise, and those below it spin clockwise? That’s because of the Coriolis effect. Above the equator, winds get deflected to the right because the earth rotates east. So when winds move toward the eye of a hurricane, on all sides they go to the right, or counter-clockwise. South of the equator, the deflection is opposite, and so is the spin.
