Question

How does the rotation of the earth influence the direction of the ocean currents?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to the Earth. Due to Earth's approximately spherical shape, this force is greatest at the poles and least at the equator.

The force called the "Coriolis effect", causes the directions of the winds and ocean currents to be deflected.

In Northern Hemisphere, the currents are deflected in the right, and in the Southern Hemisphere they are deflected in the left............

Answer:

Currents Tutorial

Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect. ... Coastal currents are affected by local winds.
