Which outcome is enhanced by the Coriolis effect on large saltwater bodies?

💡 Explanation

Gyre rotation is intensified by the Coriolis effect, which deflects moving water to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern; therefore gyre circulation is enhanced rather than other processes, because the deflection directly impacts large-scale water movement.
