Which atmospheric effect causes deflection of large-scale ocean currents?

💡 Explanation

When water moves across the Earth, the Coriolis effect occurs due to the Earth's rotation causing an apparent deflection of moving objects (including water masses), leading to curved paths. Therefore, water trajectory is affected rather than upwelling disruption, radiance trapping or the altering of tidal ranges which require different climatic/geotidal mechanisms.
