Which net lateral displacement occurs when large-scale ocean currents cross hemispheres?

💡 Explanation

Ocean currents deflect east or west because of the Coriolis effect's influence which force is stronger at larger scales; therefore currents deflect laterally, rather than being unaffected, because Earth's rotation imposes this momentum transfer constraint.
