Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere generally flow in a clockwise direction, while currents in the southern hemisphere flow counterclockwise. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes fluids like water to be deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. Additionally, the major ocean currents in the northern hemisphere tend to be stronger and more well-defined than those in the southern hemisphere.
