Geostrophic wind flows parallel to isobars when the pressure gradient force and Coriolis force are balanced. This occurs at high altitudes above the friction layer.
Explanation:
A microburst is a sudden, violent downward rush of cold air from a thunderstorm, capable of producing damaging winds that spread out in all directions.
Explanation:
Longitude does not directly affect climate. The main factors affecting climate are latitude, altitude, distance from the sea (continentality), ocean currents, and wind patterns.
