← GeographyWhich consequence results when a polar jet stream meanders significantly?
A)Extreme high/low temperature anomalies result✓
B)The thermohaline circulation slows down
C)El Niño Southern Oscillation strengthens
D)The ozone layer experiences rapid depletion

Extreme temperatures result from a meandering jet stream, because **Rossby wave propagation** shifts large air masses unusually far south or north; therefore anomalies occur rather than a normal seasonal variation due wave location effects.
