Which outcome occurs when atmospheric pressure gradients drive the geostrophic wind due to the Coriolis effect?

💡 Explanation

Deflection of wind incurs because the pressure gradient force initially propels air masses, subsequently, the Coriolis effect deflects the moving air, creating swirling patterns around pressure centers. Therefore, wind direction changes, rather than temperature homogenization, because that involves thermal inertia.
