Solution
Wind is the horizontal flow of air from a high-pressure location to a low-pressure area. The Coriolis factor effect refers to the enhanced cooling that a breeze might generate.
The pressure gradient forces the air to travel horizontally, moving it from a high-pressure location to a low-pressure zone. The Coriolis force, on the other hand, deflects the air flow’s direction (to the right in the Northern Hemisphere) and causes it to flow parallel to the isobars.
