← GeographyWhich outcome arises because northern hemisphere cyclones exhibit deflection?
A)Dominant eastward coastal erosion
B)Varied precipitation distribution aloft✓
C)Uniform upwelling water intensity
D)Identical seasonal temperature moderation
💡 Explanation
Varied precipitation arises because the Coriolis effect deflects winds within the cyclone influencing moisture convergence via cyclonic steering; therefore, differential rainfall occurs, rather than uniform precipitation, due to variable air mass interactions.
