Why do major surface current gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
The Coriolis effect causes northern gyres to spin clockwise.

What are gyres?
Currents make circular patterns called gyres. The gyres in the nothern hempisphere run clockwise, and the gyres in the Southern hepmisphere run counter clock wise.
What are gyres and what is the difference between gyres in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere?
Gyres flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. While gyres in the Southern Hemisphere flow counterclockwise.
What type of pattern does ocean currents make?
Circular wind patterns create spiral ocean currents called gyres. There are five major gyres flowing both north and south of the equator: the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres.
Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
Do the gyres of the northern hemisphere circulate in a counterclockwise direction?
gyres in the northern hemisphere circulate clockwise, while the gyres in the southern hemisphere circulate counterclockwise
The large circular-moving current systems that are within an ocean basin are called?
'gyres' there are 5 main gyres; North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
What is difference similiarity currents and gyres?
similarity is currents form gyres. difference is currents are any movement of water in one specific direction and gyres are circular patterns of water
How are gyres made?

Why are the gyres in the northern hemisphere separate from the gyres in the southern hemisphere?
The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, influences the direction of the currents in each hemisphere. This effect leads to clockwise gyres in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise gyres in the southern hemisphere, creating separate systems due to the opposite directions of motion. The difference in wind patterns and landmass distributions also contribute to the distinct gyres in each hemisphere.
