Answer:

Major surface ocean currents in the open ocean, however, are set in motion by the wind, which drags on the surface of the water as it blows. ... The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them.
