Named after the french mathematician gaspard gustave de coriolis (born in 1792), the coriolis effect refers to the curved path that objects moving on earth’s surface appear to follow because of the spinning of the planet. Ocean currents are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (coriolis effect), and water density The result of earth's rotation on weather patterns and ocean currents

The coriolis effect makes storms swirl clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere.
The coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees
In the northern hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion. This is known as the coriolis effect and is largely responsible for upwelling in coastal regions The coriolis effect also causes upwelling in the open ocean near the equator Trade winds at the equator blow surface water both north and south, allowing upwelling of deeper water.
The ocean has an interconnected current, or circulation, system powered by wind, tides, earth’s rotation (coriolis effect), the sun (solar energy), and water density differences The topography and shape of ocean basins and nearby landmasses also influence ocean currents.
