← GeographyWhich outcome occurs more intensely with increasing latitude?
A)Deflection from the Coriolis Effect✓
B)Subduction at tectonic plate boundaries
C)Formation of thermohaline currents
D)Erosion from differential weathering
💡 Explanation
The deflection from the Coriolis Effect is most intense at higher latitudes due to a greater change in tangential velocity with latitude; because the rotation's effect increases poleward, winds more readily veer than at equator, therefore, causing enhanced deflection, rather than other processes.
