Answer:

The correct option is counterclockwise, clockwise

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello ! Let's solve this!

The coriolis effect causes that an object that moves in a system that moves, produces an additional acceleration.

The coriolis effect is a force that makes the wind in the northern hemisphere counterclockwise.

In the southern hemisphere, the wind will be hourly.

The correct option is counterclockwise, clockwise
