Answer:

clockwise, Anticlockwise

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The surface ocean current moves in a large circular pattern forming a gyre in the southern latitude and move in an counter clockwise direction and clockwise in the northern hemisphere
  • Due to the Coriolis effects and the gyre tends to flow in an opposite direction. As the high pressure is opposite to the low-pressure systems.
