The Earth's rotation deflects, or changes the direction of, these wind-driven currents. This deflection is a part of the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion.

In what way does an earthquake provide evidence about the layers of Earth? Use complete sentences to write your answer.
Softa [21]
First off, let's look into how an earthquake happens:

As the plate move apart or collide given the convection current of magma, stress is built up with continuous plate movements. The pressure is then greater than the elastic strength of the rock. Rock breaks, the pressure of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Ground vibrates, resulting in earthquake.

How it provide evidence about the layers of Earth, is that the lower the layer, the hotter it is, which then cause the convection current of magma to happen,hence affecting the lithosphere.

Hope it helps!
