Answer:

The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean to be deflected.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected.

Choriolis effect (named after its discoverer Gaspard Coriolis), is the tendency that any body in motion on the Earth's surface has to change its course due to the rotational direction and the speed of the Earth.

In the northern hemisphere, the attraction is clockwise (to the right) and in the southern hemisphere, the attraction is in the reverse (counterclockwise).

This effect also affects sea currents as the water (liquid) undergoes deformations.

Ok, so, to break it down for y'all:

A force, called The Coriolis Effect, causes the direction of winds and ocean currents to be

deflected!

In the Northern Hemisphere, wind and currents are deflected toward the right, while the Southern Hemisphere is deflected toward the left.

Glad I could help, byee XP

This type of bond results in the exchange of electrons?
MissTica
An ionic bond results in an exchange or transfer of electrons between the 2 different types of atoms, most likely the metal atom and nonmetal one.

For example the compound NaF is held together by electrostatic forces of positive and negative charges due to the transfer of electrons from the sodium to fluoride atom.
