The correct response that describes the Coriolis effect is:
**the direction of air currents in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.**
The Coriolis effect refers to the phenomenon where the rotation of the Earth causes moving air and water to turn and twist rather than moving in a straight line, which influences the direction of wind patterns in different hemispheres.
