In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean gyres flow clockwise. This is caused by the Coriolis effect. The correct option in regards to the question given is the first option. The Coriolis effect is mainly responsible for the gyres in the northern hemisphere to move in a clockwise direction and in the anticlockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. Oceans near the equator feels the minimumor no Coriolis effect. The deflection in the ocean surface currents also occur due to the Coriolis effect. The spinning of the earth from west to east on its axis has huge effect on the gyres rotation.

Introduced species can threaten biodiversity because they _______
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The answer is because <u>they compete with native species for resources within a specific niche.
</u>
The new species introduced in an area where it has never been before is known as introduced species. The introduced species usually has no natural enemies (predators) so it can spread in the new area. However, as it spreads more and more, it will use resources of the native species. So, the native species must compete in order to survive. This way, they not only treat the native species but the local biodiversity. This could cause the extinction of many native species and not only those the introduced species compete directly.</span>
