← GeographyWhich outcome arises because of continental-scale thermal differences intersecting planetary rotation?
A)Meridional heat and salinity redistribution✓
B)Decreased surface level evaporation rate
C)Reduced formation of extratropical cyclones
D)Weakened thermohaline overturning circulation
💡 Explanation
Meridional heat redistribution occurs because the Coriolis effect deflects the prevailing winds set up by surface temperature differences, forming large-scale gyres. Therefore, global heat redistribution results, rather than diminished storm formation driven by other weather dynamics.
