← GeographyWhich phenomenon results from Northern Hemisphere trade winds?
A)Westward ocean current deflection✓
B)Eastward equatorial current acceleration
C)Decreased hurricane Coriolis force
D)Enhanced polar ice sheet melt
💡 Explanation
Ocean currents deflect westward because the Coriolis effect influences prevailing winds that drive surface currents; therefore, water accumulates on western continental boundaries, rather than eastern, because other factors do not directly affect currents.
