← GeographyWhich consequence follows from intensified Icelandic Low pressure?
A)Stronger cyclonic steering of European storms✓
B)Weakening western boundary ocean currents
C)Decreased upwelling along Peruvian coast
D)Narrowing of tropical Hadley cell limits
💡 Explanation
More intense Icelandic Lows strengthen the pressure gradient, intensifying the prevailing North Atlantic winds; therefore cyclonic storms are steered more forcefully towards Europe because the Coriolis effect deflects these intensified winds, rather than other circulation changes.
