they all flow in a counterclockwise direction.
they all flow in a clockwise direction.
they all move warmer water from the equator toward the poles.
they all move colder water from the equator toward the poles.
Ocean gyres in the Northern Hemisphere flow clockwise, while those in the Southern Hemisphere flow counterclockwise, so direction-based statements are false. Gyres transport warm equatorial water toward the poles and cold polar water toward the equator; the only universal true claim is that they move warmer water from the equator to the poles.
