The+coriollis+effect

The coriollis effect is the curving of the path of a moving object from and otherwise straight path, caused by Earth rotation. Ocean currents and winds move in a curved like motion because of the coriollis effect. As Earth rotates around the sun and the coriollis affect gets stronger and stronger the wind and currents patterns or motions will curve more than usual. When the wind and the ocean currents move in a curved like pattern it forms a huge circle of moving water called gyres. In the different hemisphere the gyres move in different directions. For example in the nothern hemisphere the gyre turns clockwise. In the southern hemisphere it turns counterclockwise. Gyres and the coriollis effect work together.
