← GeographyWhich phenomenon enhances the westward deflection approaching continents?
A)Equatorial countercurrent strengthening✓
B)Coastal upwelling enhancement
C)Atmospheric pressure divergence
D)Sea ice albedo amplification
💡 Explanation
Enhancement approaching continents is due to equatorial countercurrent strengthening because the Coriolis effect decreases near the equator, therefore it results in reduced westward deflection, rather than conditions with higher deflection influences.
