Which consequence results when polar winds experience deflection?

A)Increased coastal fog upwelling
B)Formation of Rossby waves
C)Decreased ocean salinity levels
D)Stratospheric ozone depletion accelerates

💡 Explanation

Formation of Rossby waves occurs because the Coriolis effect deflects polar winds, generating large-scale horizontal movements in the upper troposphere. Therefore, Rossby waves form, rather than simple straight-line flow, which would happen without the Coriolis effect's influence.
