Question

Explain how the Coriolis effect affects ocean current movements in the northern and southern hemispheres.

Answer 1

$\huge\blue{★}$ $\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{red}{blue}{Answer}}$

$\huge\red{★}$As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. ... The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns.

Answer 2

Answer:

Earth's rotation is the main reason for the Coriolis effect. Because the Earth rotates on its axis, ocean chrrents is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
