Question

3. Which of the following is not true about the ocean's surface currents?

Group of answer choices
Surface currents are affected by wind and the rotation of the Earth.
The Coriolis Effect causes currents to curve to the left in the Northern Hemisphere.
The wind, which is the primary cause of the ocean's surface current, is created by unequal heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun.
Ocean currents do not appear to move in straight lines because the Earth is continually spinning below them..
