f the west coast of Africa. The direction of the surface current and the prevailing wind do not coincide. What can explain this discrepancy? A map shows the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa. A large arrow runs northwest and is labeled surface current. Smaller arrows labeled winds run north between the larger arrow and the west coast of Africa. Select the two that apply. View Available Hint(s) Select the two that apply. Because the current is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the subtropical gyre pulls the current in a counterclockwise direction. The ocean current is being deflected to the right due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect deflects ocean currents in the Southern Hemisphere to the left due to Earth’s rotation. The current is being pulled in a clockwise direction because the subtropical gyre is located in the Southern Hemisphere.
