Which consequence follows from intensified Icelandic Low pressure?

A)Stronger cyclonic steering of European storms
B)Weakening western boundary ocean currents
C)Decreased upwelling along Peruvian coast
D)Narrowing of tropical Hadley cell limits

💡 Explanation

More intense Icelandic Lows strengthen the pressure gradient, intensifying the prevailing North Atlantic winds; therefore cyclonic storms are steered more forcefully towards Europe because the Coriolis effect deflects these intensified winds, rather than other circulation changes.
