← GeographyWhich outcome is intensified as the hydrological cycle experiences stronger Coriolis effect?
A)Gyre formation of marine microplastics✓
B)Latitudinal rainforest biodiversity bands
C)Seasonal artic ice sheet stability
D)Development of coastal fog patterns
💡 Explanation
Stronger Coriolis steering amplifies circular currents, so larger gyres are promoted which lead to greater plastic accumulating, because the effect increases water rotation. This amplified formation concentrates debris rather than distributes it, and doesn't stabilize artic ice, or directly promote latitudinal bands.
