Which effect results as global air masses approach pressure gradients?

💡 Explanation

Geostrophic winds result as air travels from high to low pressure areas, but is deflected by the Coriolis effect, reaching equilibrium. The pressure gradient force balances the Coriolis force rather than adiabatic cooling because different properties cause cloud formation.
