Which environmental effect results when the subtropical jet stream meanders significantly?

💡 Explanation

Persistent Rossby wave formation from jet stream meandering causes standing anticyclones, leading to prolonged drought, because atmospheric blocking prevents precipitation; therefore, regional drought emerges, rather than ozone changes, oceanic circulation, or geological uplift, controlled by other mechanisms.
