← GeographyWhich weather outcome occurs when the Coriolis effect influences upper-level divergent flow?
A)Strengthening extratropical cyclone development✓
B)Increased Hadley cell boundary disruption
C)Weakening subtropical jet stream formation
D)Reduced thermohaline circulation efficiency
💡 Explanation
Extratropical cyclones intensify because upper-level divergence enhanced by the Coriolis effect leads to surface pressure decreases through upper-air evacuation; therefore, cyclogenesis boosts rather than weakens jets or disrupts other circulations.
