The spin of Earth creates the Coriolis effect. This effect causes which current patterns to occur? Check all that apply.

The Coriolis effect deflects moving surface water to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This helps produce large ocean current patterns that rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, the correct choices are that Northern Hemisphere surface water moves clockwise and Southern Hemisphere surface water moves counterclockwise.
