Which phenomenon results in increased geostrophic wind speed?

A)A stronger pressure gradient force
B)Decreased boundary layer turbulence
C)A reduced prevailing water temperature
D)Increased surface vegetation density

💡 Explanation

The stronger pressure gradient leads to faster geostrophic wind speeds because the Coriolis effect balances it, therefore increased pressure gradients, rather than changes, result in quicker movement and higher speeds, rather than the alternative outcomes.
