Question

what is Circulation of ocean surface currents: flows Clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and Counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Ocean surface currents circulate in a clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere, following the direction of the Earth's rotation known as the Coriolis effect. In contrast, they circulate in a counterclockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. This is due to the fact that the Coriolis effect causes objects in motion to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This circulation pattern influences the movement of heat, nutrients, and marine life throughout the world's oceans.
