Which pattern results when the Coriolis effect deflects prevailing winds in the Northern Hemisphere?

💡 Explanation

When prevailing winds encounter the Coriolis effect, they deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation, leading to a clockwise rotational movement around areas of high pressure. Therefore, clockwise circulation results, rather than linear flow, randomness, or counter-clockwise rotation, which involves different pressure gradients or hemispheres.
