Which atmospheric phenomenon is intensified near coastlines undergoing strong differential heating?

A)Increased coastal El Niño events
B)Strengthened Coriolis force influence
C)Enhanced thermohaline circulation reversals
D)Amplified polar vortex destabilization

💡 Explanation

Differential heating along coasts increases temperature gradients, which intensifies pressure gradients and wind speeds; because The Coriolis force, which deflects moving air masses, turns stronger when winds are faster and denser. Thus localized coastal rotation increases, rather than thermohaline circulation reversal.
