← GeographyWhich consequence results when intense solar heating influences atmospheric Coriolis effect?
A)Intensified ocean current gyre formation
B)Strengthened intertropical convergence zone✓
C)Decreased Rossby wave amplitude
D)Weakened coastal upwelling processes
💡 Explanation
Intense solar heating amplifies Hadley cell convection, therefore it creates a stronger ITCZ due to enhanced convergence and lift near the equator, rather than directly affecting ocean gyres or Rossby wave amplitudes because these depend on other mechanisms.
