Southern Hemisphere winds move surface water 90 to the left of the direction of the wind: False.

As wind blows across the ocean, it moves water because of friction at the ocean surface. Because the Earth rotates, surface water moves to the right of the wind direction in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of the wind direction in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis force. And there is no fixed angel at which water will turn left.

  • here Coriolis force is an apparent force caused by the earth's rotation. The Coriolis force is responsible for deflecting winds towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere

example = A ball thrown between two friends on a merry-go-round will appear to them to take a curved path. They are spinning with the merry-go-round, while the ball moves freely through the air. The force that causes this curvature of motion in the rotating reference frame is the Coriolis force.
