Question
The ocean currents get deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere due to :
- Earth’s revolution
- Earth’s rotation
- Salinity
- Temperature
Answer
(b) Earth’s rotation
Explanation:
The ocean currents get deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere due to Earth’s rotation. This phenomenon is known as the Coriolis effect, which causes moving objects, including ocean currents, to appear to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
