Question

In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents move ________ about high-pressure cells; in the Southern Hemisphere ocean currents move ________ about high-pressure cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

clockwise, Anticlockwise

Explanation:

• The surface ocean current moves in a large circular pattern forming a gyre in the southern latitude and move in an counter clockwise direction and clockwise in the northern hemisphere

• Due to the Coriolis effects and the gyre tends to flow in an opposite direction. As the high pressure is opposite to the low-pressure systems.
