The rotational force of theearth causes movement of ocean water near the equator in oppositedirection to 'the west to east rotation of the earthand thus equatorial currents are generated. These currents flow from east to west. ... The Coriolis Effect is zero at the equator and increases to a maximum at the poles.

MAY THIS ANSWER IS HELPFUL FOR YOU:
Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to theEarth. Due toEarth's approximately spherical shape, this force is greatest at the poles and least at the Equator. The force, called the "Coriolis effect," causes thedirection of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.
