Which effect amplifies trade wind deflection at low latitudes?

A)Coriolis force accumulation
B)Thermal capacity of landmasses
C)Albedo contrasts at equator
D)Water vapor latent heat release

💡 Explanation

Trade winds deflect westward due to the Coriolis effect; because air masses move slowly, the Coriolis force, acting perpendicular to airflow, has enhanced accumulative westward shift rather than direct deflection, which increases wind angles.
