ā GeographyWhich instability arises as air masses of various temperatures merge at the Ferrel cell's boundary?
A)Increased frontal precipitation intensityā
B)Enhanced stratospheric ozone depletion
C)Reduced thermohaline circulation strength
D)Decreased geostrophic wind velocity
š” Explanation
Increased frontal precipitation can develop due to baroclinic instability, because strong temperature gradients and vertical wind shear amplify frontal systems; therefore, fronts intensify, rather than causing ozone depletionādriven by halogens or weakening ocean currentsādriven by salinity.
