Which mechanism causes deflection of ocean gyres formed along continental eastern boundaries?

💡 Explanation

When ocean gyres move, the Coriolis effect influences a force perpendicular to the gyre's movement because Earth's rotation affects moving objects. Therefore, the current is deflected eastward in the Northern Hemisphere and West in the Southern Hemisphere, rather than density, thermocline, or landmass influences.
