Question

How does the Coriolis effect impact the Gulf Stream and the
Brazil Current? (1 point)
It turns the Gulf Stream northeast and the Brazil Current
northwest.
It turns the Gulf Stream northwest and the Brazil Current
northeast.
It turns the Gulf Stream northeast and the Brazil Current
southwest.
It turns the Gulf Stream southwest and the Brazil Current
northeast.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: **It turns the Gulf Stream northeast and the Brazil Current southwest.**

The Coriolis effect causes ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere to deflect to the right, which causes the Gulf Stream to flow northeast. In the Southern Hemisphere, currents deflect to the left, which influences the Brazil Current to flow southwest.
