It's called Coriolis force.
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
Surface ocean currents flow in a circular pattern due to a combination of Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and the shape of the continents. The Coriolis effect causes water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the circular motion of currents. This, along with the shape of the coastlines, influences the direction and pattern of ocean currents.
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.

coriolis effect
The influence of earths rotation is called the Coriolis effect. The coriolis effect causes wind to curve instead of going in a straight line.
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and ocean currents is known as the Coriolis effect. This phenomenon causes moving air and water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation.
The Coriolis Effect is responsible for this.
