Which outcome results from the Coriolis effect on large-scale ocean currents moving away from the equator?

💡 Explanation

When an ocean current moves away from the equator, the Coriolis effect deflects the current due to the earth's rotation, shifting moving objects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and the left in Southern Hemisphere. Therefore deflection to the east results in Northern hemisphere, rather than altering speed, salinity, or upwelling, which depend on density and pressure gradients.
