How does the Coriolis effect affects ocean surface currents?
coriolis is a centrifugal force drawing big masses north right and south of the equator left (and no – the water in the sink/toilet doesn t show that effect) but it also works for weather systems currents depend mainly on the saline changeover (warm water increasing salt content because of evaporation – sinking down and bringing cold water from below up) – the coriolis force has a directing part in this
