Which flow pattern results when air moving towards low pressure is deflected?

💡 Explanation

Cyclonic rotation emerges through the Coriolis effect, where moving air deflects, producing a spin around low pressure. Therefore, the wind curves inward toward the pressure minimum, rather than flowing directly into it, unlike the alternative patterns.
