IPA: /ˌdʒiːoʊˈsteɪʃənˌɛri/
KK: /ˌdʒiːoʊˈsteɪʃənˌɛri/
Definition: Relating to a satellite that orbits the Earth at the same rate that the Earth rotates, allowing it to stay in a fixed position above a specific point on the Earth's surface.
Example: The communication satellite is geostationary, providing constant coverage to the same area.
IPA: /ˌdʒiːoʊstrəˈtɛdʒɪk/
KK: /dʒiːoʊstrəˈtɛdʒɪk/

IPA: //dʒiːəˈstrɒfɪk//
KK: /dʒiˈoʊstrəfɪk/
Definition: Relating to the effect of the Coriolis force on the movement of air or water in the atmosphere or oceans.
Example: The geostrophic wind is an important concept in meteorology that helps predict weather patterns.
IPA: //ˌdʒiːoʊˈsɪŋkrənəs//
KK: /ˌdʒiːoʊˈsɪŋkrənəs/
Definition: Relating to an orbit that matches the Earth's rotation, allowing a satellite to stay in the same position relative to the Earth's surface.
Example: The communication satellite is geosynchronous, so it remains above the same point on Earth.
IPA: /ˌdʒiːəʊˈtæktɪk/
KK: /dʒiˈoʊtæktɪk/
