Haylee Levine · Answer 1

a. causes north-flowing currents in the northern hemisphere to curve to the east.

Explanation:

The Coriolis effect it is a force that is produced due to the rotation of the Earth. Because of this, the trajectories of the objects deviate. It is diverted to the right everything that is located in the northern hemisphere and to the left everything that is in the southern hemisphere. This is because the Earth rotates from West to East.
