← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when intense surface heating strengthens low-level convergence in otherwise divergent zones?
A)Increased intensity of tropical cyclones✓
B)Formation of extensive polar deserts
C)Decreased coastal upwelling strength
D)Weakening of mid-latitude Rossby waves
💡 Explanation
Intense heating amplifies existing atmospheric instability, because the buoyant air rises, creating strong convergence through thermal forcing; therefore it strengthens cyclones in specific locations, rather than altering other global climate patterns.
