1.6 The deflection of ocean currents in the northern and southern hemispheres is due to
(A) thermohaline circulation
(B) Coriolis effect
(C) El Nino effect
(D) monsoon effect
Coriolis Effect It intervenes and causes the water to move to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. These large accumulations of water and the flow around them are called ‘Gyres’. These produce larger
circular currents in all the ocean basins
