← GeographyWhich pattern emerges when pressure gradients influence airflow?
A)Development of geostrophic wind patterns✓
B)Dissipation of surface temperature inversions
C)Intensification of localized convective storms
D)Formation of stratospheric ozone depletion
💡 Explanation
Geostrophic wind results because the Coriolis Effect deflects air moving from areas of high to low pressure. Air flows parallel to isobars, therefore it follows a curved path rather than directly crossing pressure gradients.
