Explanation:
The Earth's rotation affects the movement of water in the oceans. The tides are deflected due to the rotation. The speed of rotation also affects the movement of the wind. Due to rotation, winds and the ocean currents deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer:
Our planet's rotation produces a force on all bodies moving relative to theEarth. 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 direction of winds and ocean currents to be deflected.
