Which mechanism increases tropical cyclone intensity as they drift poleward?

💡 Explanation

As tropical cyclones move poleward, the Coriolis force increases because it is proportional to the sine of the latitude, enhancing the cyclonic rotation and leading to a tighter, more intense storm. Therefore a strengthening Coriolis effect increases intensity, rather than SST decrease, reduced shear, or land interaction which weaken storms.
