Which atmospheric effect increases when isobar spacing decreases?

A)Geostrophic wind velocity increases
B)Hadley cell subsidence decreases
C)Coriolis effect diminishes entirely
D)Orographic lift becomes less frequent

💡 Explanation

Wind velocity escalates due to intensified pressure gradients associated with closer isobars; the pressure gradient force strengthens, and given this, the increased force leads to increased geostrophic wind due to the Coriolis effect, rather than other unrelated patterns.
