← GeographyWhich effect amplifies surface temperature differences influencing jet stream behavior during El Niño events?
A)The Albedo feedback
B)The Coriolis feedback
C)The Walker Circulation feedback✓
D)The latent heat flux feedback
💡 Explanation
When surface temperature anomalies strengthens the Walker Circulation, the related sea surface temperature gradients shift, influencing jet stream formation and propagation due to thermal steering process. Therefore, sea surface amplification Walker Circulation feedback occurs; rather than unrelated Albedo, latent heat flux and other Coriolis effects.
