Neglecting friction and the Coriolis Effect, what would be the direction of the wind along a coastline if the air pressure were higher over the ocean than over the adjacent land are?

If the air pressure were higher over the ocean than over the adjacent land, the wind will move from land to water.

Explanation:

Coriolis Effect is an effect whereby a mass moving in a rotating system experiences a force that acts perpendicular to the axis of rotation and to the direction of motion. On the earth, the Coriolis effect deflects objects in motion to the right in the northern hemisphere and the Coriolis effect deflects objects in motion to the left in the southern hemisphere.

If the air pressure were higher over the ocean than over the adjacent land, the wind will move from land to water.
