← GeographyWhich outcome would occur in tropical cyclones making landfall due to suppressed sea breeze?
A)Localized extreme rainfall increases offshore
B)Faster storm dissipation overland increase
C)Enhanced right-front quadrant vortex intensification✓
D)Pronounced weakening nearside the eyewall
💡 Explanation
A suppressed sea breeze enhances the Coriolis effect on the cyclone's rotation; frontal quadrants intensify because inward spiraling winds strengthen; therefore, extreme rain will occur in the right-front quadrant intensification, rather than dissipation nearer the eyewall alone.
