Because of the Coriolis effect, surface winds flow:
A)parallel to isobars
B)from high pressure to low pressure
C)perpendicular to isobars
D)across isobars at an angle

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Coriolis effect causes surface winds to flow across isobars at an angle, resulting in a slight deflection to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This is known as the "geostrophic wind" pattern, and is responsible for the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere.
