← GeographyWhich flow pattern results due to combined orographic lift and Coriolis effect?
A)Katabatic wind deflection
B)Monsoon circulation strengthening✓
C)Glacial ice ablation rates
D)Desert soil formation patterns
💡 Explanation
Monsoon circulation strengthens because orographic lift initiates upward air movement, and the Coriolis effect deflects it, enhancing circulation; therefore, monsoon strength increases rather than other localized wind events because of systematic weather patterns interacting.
