← GeographyWhich weather system characteristic results from Coriolis force?
A)Hurricane eyewall peak wind direction✓
B)Stratospheric ozone photochemical equilibrium
C)Sea surface salinity gradient intensity
D)Tropical rainforest evapotranspiration thresholds
💡 Explanation
Hurricane eyewalls exhibit cyclonic rotation because the Coriolis force deflects inflow winds, initiating rotation. The storm intensifies therefore, rather than exhibiting no rotation due to balanced pressure; photochemical equilibrium or salinity are largely unrelated
