← GeographyWhich mechanism redistributes heat when a meandering jet stream develops a cut-off low?
A)Latent heat transport via thunderstorms
B)Advective heat transport due to eddies✓
C)Radiative heat transport from greenhouse gases
D)Conductive heat transport across air masses
💡 Explanation
When a cut-off low forms from a meandering jet stream, it induces eddy formation because the unstable flow separates and creates swirling air masses that efficiently mix warm and cold air. Therefore, heat redistribution occurs due to advective heat transport via eddies, rather than other mechanisms which require different conditions, like solar radiation or condensation.
