Which of these oceanic effects results from differential heating and Earth's rotation at low latitudes, influencing global heat distribution?

💡 Explanation

The Western boundary current intensification occurs because the Coriolis effect deflects currents westward, concentrating them on continental east coasts. Upwelling and thermohaline patterns are driven by differing processes; therefore, intensified currents explain heat distribution, rather than other effects.
