As a result of the Coriolis effect, an air mass moving from the North Pole toward the equator will deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This deflection occurs because the Earth rotates beneath the moving air, causing it to follow a curved path rather than a straight line. Consequently, instead of moving directly south, the air mass will veer toward the east, influencing weather patterns and ocean currents.
Yes, that's correct. The latitude lines are measured in degrees, with the equator being at 0 degrees latitude. As you move north of the equator, the latitude values increase, indicating that you are moving farther away from the equator towards the North Pole.
The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.

The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
It begins moving back toward the equator. Those occasions occur near June 21 and near December 21.
The continents are at present moving north of the equator.
Yes, that's correct. The latitude lines are measured in degrees, with the equator being at 0 degrees latitude. As you move north of the equator, the latitude values increase, indicating that you are moving farther away from the equator towards the North Pole.
The current north of the equator moves clockwise.
The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.
Not particularly, it's north of the Equator.
The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
North of course! There is no other way to travel.
