Which storm behavior results from the Coriolis effect?

A)Cyclonic rotation of low pressures
B)Rain shadow desert formation
C)Coastal upwelling of cool ocean
D)Adiabatic temperature increase aloft

💡 Explanation

Cyclonic rotation arises because the Coriolis effect deflects moving air masses to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection causes a rotation around low-pressure centers rather than direct inflow, therefore the pressures equalize.
