Respuesta :

Answer:

Geostrophic wind

Explanation:

A wind blowing at a constant speed parallel to straight-line isobars with the pressure gradient force (PGF) and the Coriolis force in balance is called a Geostrophic wind.

A balance of the pressure-gradient force and the force due to the earth's rotation determine the direction and speed of the geostrophic wind.
