Which outcome results on Earth when increased atmospheric pressure strengthens Coriolis effect?

A)Intensified geostrophic winds aloft increase
B)Decreased ocean surface current shear forms
C)Reduced poleward energy transport occurs
D)Weakened tropical cyclone rotation develops

💡 Explanation

Strengthened pressure gradients boost the Coriolis effect, because this intensifies geostrophic winds by balancing the pressure gradient and Coriolis forces; therefore increased winds result, rather than weaker shear—tropical cyclone development requires precise environmental conditions.
