Which outcome is caused within mid-latitude regions by amplified Rossby waves?

💡 Explanation

Extreme weather variability increases because amplified Rossby waves cause stationary or slowly-moving weather patterns through meridional heat transport intensification. This triggers prolonged heat waves, droughts, or cold snaps, rather than affecting ozone or ocean circulation.
