Answer:
Geostrophic winds come about because pressure gradient force and Coriolis force come into balance after the air begins to move. A wind whose direction and speed are determined by a balance of the pressure-gradient force and the force due to the earth's rotation
A geostrophic wind flows parallel to the isobars.
