← GeographyWhich effect is amplified when polar ice melt accelerates oceanic currents?
A)Coriolis force strengthens significantly✓
B)Upwelling nutrient cycle decreases
C)Salinity gradients equalize rapidly
D)Thermohaline circulation reverses entirely
💡 Explanation
Increased flow intensifies the deflection due to the Coriolis effect, because faster currents experience a greater apparent force. Therefore, the perceived curvature amplifies; rather than causing immediate shifts in fundamental thermohaline dynamics, or disrupting basic nutrient cycles.
