one small biology question?

Water currents and wind currents flow clockwise in the Northern hemisphere due to
1)convection currents.
2)the Coriolis effect.
3)thermal energy imbalances.
4)changes in atmospheric pressure.
 
The coriolis effet. and how on earth is this about biology?
anyways. The coriolis effect, caused by the earth's roatation, causes wind/water in the northern hemisphere to move clockwise, and counter-clockwise in the southern hemi. You can see this in hurricanes, they spin counter-clockwise in the southern hemi. Also, this is the reason that airplanes travel in curved paths, if they planned a straight line to their destination, the Coriolis effect would move the plane away. Hope it helps!
