Which outcome results when the Coriolis effect defects trade winds?

💡 Explanation

Ocean gyres spiral due to the Coriolis effect, which deflects trade winds. This wind deflection sets currents in motion through Ekman transport, therefore gyres form rather than straight flows, because the deflection varies by latitude.
