← GeographyWhich outcome is amplified by the Ferrel cell circulation?
A)Mid-latitude weather system storm tracks✓
B)Equatorial precipitation intensity directly
C)Subtropical trade wind strength always
D)Polar jet stream stability constantly
💡 Explanation
Storm track intensity in mid-latitudes increases because baroclinic instability draws energy from temperature gradients maintained by the Ferrel cell via increased pressure gradients, amplifying weather system rotation; therefore it concentrates storm movement, rather than uniformly affect precipitation, trade winds, or directly influence polar streams.
