The Coriolis effect causes currents to bend to the right-clockwise- in the northern hemisphere.
An object, when moving on any rotating system undergoes an additional acceleration produced by a "force" perpendicular to the movement.
The result that this "force-acceleration" causes to the object is a deviation of its path that gives rise to a curved path, this "force" is the Coriolis effect.
- The rotation of the Earth has an effect on objects that move on its surface called the "Coriolis Effect."
- When an object starts a movement pointing in a direction in the Northern Hemisphere, whatever that direction, the actual trajectory is curved to the right with respect to the initial direction.
- In the Southern Hemisphere it produces deviations to the left of the movements.
Therefore, we can conclude that the Coriolis effect deflects ocean currents to the right in the northern hemisphere, and to the left in the southern hemisphere.
