Answer 1

The correct response is:

It turns the Gulf Stream northeast and the Brazil Current southwest.

The Coriolis effect causes moving water in the Northern Hemisphere to turn to the right, impacting the direction of ocean currents. The Gulf Stream, which flows in the Atlantic Ocean, moves northeastward, while the Brazil Current, in the Southern Hemisphere, moves southwestward.
