HELP PLEASE! and give out a good explanation!
Which of the following form the pattern of surface currents on Earth?
A. high and low tides
B. the Sun's gravitational pull and Earth's rotation
C. global winds and the Coriolis effect
D. the Moon's gravitational pull and Earth's tilt on its axis
I think it would be C because global winds are the primary driving force of surface currents, the Coriolis effect deflects them and has them go right or left of their motions.
Gyres flow clockwise in Northern Hemisphere oceans and counterclockwise in Southern Hemisphere oceans because of the Coriolis Effect. creating surface ocean currents.
