← GeographyIncreased storm intensity results when which process amplifies?
A)Hadley cell meridional overturning✓
B)Rossby wave latitudinal meandering
C)Ekman spiral flow reduction
D)Thermohaline circulation temperature stabilization
💡 Explanation
Stronger contrasts initiate Hadley cell meridional overturning because the temperature gradient increases the convection intensity; therefore, more energy and moisture is available to fuel tropical storms, rather than damping them via stabilization.
