Which phenomenon explains the deflection effect on ocean currents caused by Earth's rotation, influencing global heat distribution?

💡 Explanation

When water masses move across the Earth's surface, the Coriolis force causes deflection because Earth's rotation creates an inertial effect. Therefore the Coriolis force effect results, distributing heat, rather than gyroscopic effects, pendulum oscillation or transport which involve different physical systems.
