Question

why does the North Pacific Gyre rotate in a different direction than the South Pacific Gyre?

Answer 1

Three forces cause the circulation of a gyre: global wind patterns, Earth's rotation, and Earth's landmasses. Wind drags on the ocean surface, causing water to move in the direction the wind is blowing. ... In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion.
