The rotation of the earth
The Coriolis Effect is caused by Earth’s uneven distribution of heat AND the rotation of the earth
Explanation:
Due to the spherical nature of the earth, when it spins, around its axis, different latitudes spin at different rates. The nearer to the pole you get the slower the earth’s spins (approx 0.00008 kilometers/hr), while this spin is fastest at the equator ( approx1,600 kilometers/hr). Due to this differential spin, ocean and winds currents (while they move polewards due to convection) are deflected as they move towards the pole from the equator. Towards the North, they are deflected westwards while towards the South they are deflected eastwards.
