← GeographyWhich outcome results when differences in air density between the equator and poles interact with Earth's rotation?
A)Formation of mid-latitude jet streams✓
B)Increased polar ice sheet stability
C)Weakening of deep ocean currents
D)Reduced frequency of El Niño events
💡 Explanation
The differential heating combined with Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, deflecting air masses. This effect intensifies the flow aloft at the boundaries of the cell, thereby generating jet streams, rather than the other stable climate phenomena.
