Question

in which general directions do ocean currents move in the northern and southern hemisphere​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The earth rotates on its axis from west to east. This rotation causes both the wind and ocean currents to move from east to west. Thus, the wind movement and ocean currents in the northern hemisphere goes clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Answer 2

Northern hemisphere in clock wise direction and southern hemisphere in counter clockwise direction.

Explanation:

The water of the sea are constantly in motion , just like the wave  and tides . Ocean currents flow like large rivers and predictable paths . Some currents flow on the surface . Others go  deep into the  water . A small amount of current flows  for a short distance . Others cross entire ocean basins and orbit the earth. The earth rotates on its axis from west to east . This rotation causes both wind and ocean  currents to move from east to west . Thus , the  movement  of winds and ocean currents is   clockwise ( anticyclonically) in the Northern hemisphere and counter clockwise( cyclonically) in   Southern hemisphere.
