Which geographical effect influences the angle of deflection due to the Coriolis effect on ocean currents strongest?

💡 Explanation

When the Earth rotates, the Coriolis effect deflects moving objects because the rotational velocity changes with latitude altering the inertial forces proportionally, producing a trajectory curvature. Therefore latitude impacts rotational velocity, rather than current speed, coastal proximity, or ocean depth acting as the primary factor.
