Which hemispheric water deflection results from Earth's rotation?

💡 Explanation

Ocean currents deflect due to the Coriolis effect, because Earth's rotation induces a force perpendicular to water flow; therefore, currents steer right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern, rather than flowing straight due to pressure gradients alone.
