Question What is the role of the Coriolis effect on ocean currents?(1 point) Responses The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect turns wind to the right in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect turns currents clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect turns currents clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect turns currents counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 1

The correct responses regarding the role of the Coriolis effect on ocean currents are:

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

The key points are that in the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes moving objects (like wind and ocean currents) to deflect to the right, resulting in counterclockwise rotation of currents. In the Southern Hemisphere, the deflection is to the left, resulting in clockwise rotation.
