Answer:

Coriolis Effect is a correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ocean currents are generated due to density difference in water mass and also by the wind which is caused by gravity, temperature, and variation in salinity.

Ocean currents at the surface are influenced by the Coriolis Effect.

Coriolis effect describes that the current and wind shows deflection as they move over the earth's surface

Coriolis effect influenced Ocean currents at the surface by deflecting from its path, in the direction of wind moving in hemisphere.
