Which deformation to atmospheric circulation results as polar air descends and encounters the Coriolis effect?

💡 Explanation

Polar air descends and moves toward the equator. The Coriolis effect deflects this air eastward, creating strong jet streams, because Earth's rotation influences moving air masses; therefore, jet streams strengthen regionally, rather than trade winds shifting or Hadley cells weakening, which occur via other mechanisms.
