Which effect increases when humid air flows poleward?

A)Intensity of midlatitude cyclones
B)Frequency of major El Ninos
C)Strength of the ocean currents
D)Rate of glacial isostatic adjustment

💡 Explanation

Cyclones intensify because poleward movement on the rotating Earth results in an increased Coriolis effect, causing greater deflection and spin due to momentum conservation; therefore the cyclone intensifies, rather than oceanic phenomena that are not steered by atmospheric patterns.
