Which consequence results when a mid-latitude meander in the Jet Stream stalls?

A)Prolonged temperature inversion at ground level
B)Increased coastal erosion intensity
C)Extended period of drought locally
D)Enhanced formation of glacial striations

💡 Explanation

An immobile meander leads to persistent high-pressure weather systems, causing subsidence. This inhibits cloud formation because adiabatic warming prevails over rising air currents suppressing precipitation; therefore, severe drought occurs in the affected area, rather than any effect upon inversions, coastal erosion or glacial morphology.
