<u>Answer:</u>

They generally blow from "West to East".  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The direction of a surface ocean current is largely governed by the direction of winds flowing over the ocean in that particular region.
  • The "impact of the Coriolis effect" in the Atlantic ocean tends the winds to flow in a particular direction or to a particular side.
  • The "winds deflect" to the right in the "northern hemisphere", whereas, they deflect to the left in the "southern hemisphere".
