What is the role of the Coriolis effect on ocean

currents? choose 1
The Coriolis effect turns currents
counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.
The Coriolis effect turns currents clockwise in the
Southern Hemisphere.
The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the
Southern Hemisphere.
The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the
Northern Hemisphere.

1 answer

The correct choice is: The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Coriolis effect causes moving fluids (like air and water) to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, which affects the direction of ocean currents and winds.
