Which risk increases when high geostrophic stream curvature occurs?

A)Atmospheric river formation offshore
B)Tectonic plate boundary shifts
C)Intense coastal upwelling events
D)Increased thermohaline ocean circulation

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric river size grows under such conditions because increased geostrophic curvature often indicates converging moisture fluxes aloft, caused by imbalances in the pressure gradient force across the stream; therefore, increased atmospheric river events, rather than other listed outcomes, result.
