Which phenomenon significantly alters coastal stream flow direction during tidal shifts?

💡 Explanation

During tidal shifts, the Coriolis force deflects stream and river flow because incoming tidal water moves perpendicularly to these streams' flow, experiencing a deflection relative to the Earth's rotation, and altering flow direction. Therefore Coriolis force applies, rather than pressure equalization, erosion or pressure which are unrelated to tidal hydrodynamics.
