← GeographyWhich airflow pattern develops due to deflection from prevailing winds?
A)Atmospheric Rossby wave formation✓
B)Oceanic thermohaline circulation
C)Orographic precipitation enhancement
D)Latitudinal solar energy redistribution
💡 Explanation
Atmospheric Rossby waves form because the Coriolis effect deflects high-altitude winds. This deflection influences upper atmosphere and jet stream patterns, rather than a more direct redistribution; therefore it induces these planetary-scale waves.
