← GeographyWhich effect occurs when a wind approaches isobars?
A)Geostrophic balance modification.✓
B)Hydrological cycle acceleration.
C)Albedo increase inhibition.
D)Latent heat flux augmentation.
💡 Explanation
Wind approaching isobars initiates a modification of the existing geostrophic balance because the Coriolis effect deflects this moving air rather than winds flowing perfectly parallel. Therefore, the air experiences force deviations rather than alterations to hydrology.
