In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes the rotation of the Earth to deflect moving objects to the right. This effect influences the movement of sea water, creating a clockwise movement known as a gyre. This is why sea water tends to circulate in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere.
