Which pattern results when upper-atmosphere polar air moves equatorward?

💡 Explanation

An approaching air mass from the north follows geostrophic balance and deflects due to the Coriolis effect; this deflects objects eastward because the observer frame rotates faster, therefore we see the air mass deflected eastward, rather than convective rising.
