Which geographic anomaly results because polar front intensification?

A)Increased meandering river streamflow patterns
B)Strengthened equatorial ocean upwelling cycles
C)Weakened thermohaline ocean circulation
D)Expanded subtropical desert vegetation zones

💡 Explanation

Intensification increases Rossby wave amplitude; meanders increase because momentum transfer amplifies within streams causing shifts in the jet stream's latitude patterns. Therefore, the streamflow changes, rather than altered currents, desert expansion, or ocean upwelling cycles.
