← GeographyWhich flow pattern results when air moving towards low pressure is deflected?
A)Cyclonic rotation development✓
B)El Niño oscillation intensification
C)Increased thermohaline circulation
D)Enhanced orographic precipitation
💡 Explanation
Cyclonic rotation emerges through the Coriolis effect, where moving air deflects, producing a spin around low pressure. Therefore, the wind curves inward toward the pressure minimum, rather than flowing directly into it, unlike the alternative patterns.
