Which outcome is caused by the Coriolis effect on prevailing winds interacting with Tibetan Plateau topography?

A)Intensified summer South Asian monsoon
B)Expansion of the Sahara Desert
C)Increased Antarctic ice sheet accumulation
D)Weakening of North Atlantic currents

💡 Explanation

Differential heating of the Tibetan Plateau creates a low-pressure zone; the Coriolis effect deflects winds initially drawn toward this zone. Therefore, a strengthened northward airflow results, leading to monsoon intensification near India, rather than other latitude effects.
