At Earth's equator, which effect enhances tropical cyclone formation?

A)Minimal Coriolis force deflection
B)Pronounced geostrophic wind generation
C)Greater temperature gradient stability
D)Maximum sea ice accumulation

💡 Explanation

A lack of Coriolis force prevents the necessary rotational effect for cyclone genesis near the equator, because wind moves directly from high to low pressure, rather than spiraling; therefore, minimal deflection enhances formation rather than stronger divergence nearby.
