The answer is "the Coriolis effect." The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth. As the Earth rotates, it causes moving air to curve. In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes moving air to curve to the right. This means that when a low-pressure system forms and starts to rotate in the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes it to rotate counterclockwise. So, the rotation of hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere is a result of both the low-pressure system and the Coriolis effect.
