Which surface wind pattern results from the greatest Coriolis effect at 60 degrees latitude?

💡 Explanation

At 60 degrees latitude, the high Coriolis force deflects air moving towards a low pressure zone strongly to the right (in the northern hemisphere) or to the left (in the southern hemisphere), generating intense westerly cyclonic rotation. Therefore, cyclonic rotation develops, rather than southeasterly flow, northeasterly gradient winds, or subsidence, each having distinctive pressure configurations and Coriolis deflection profiles.
