<span>the true statement about compasses is: B. Compass magnets can be deflected by earths magnetic field or other permanent magnets. Im pretty sure thats something that happens to a magnet
This very same characteristic make a compass unable to function if it got close to another source of magnetic force, in most case the compass' needle will spin uncontrollably</span>
The Earth's rotation deflects, or changes the direction of, these wind-driven currents. This deflection is a part of the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion.
