← GeographyWhich effect arises from increased planetary rotation speed?
A)Intensified tropical cyclone Coriolis force response✓
B)Weakened global atmospheric pressure gradients
C)Narrowed equatorial Hadley cell circulation
D)Reduced high-latitude temperature differentials
💡 Explanation
Coriolis effect increases with rotation speed, therefore stronger forces act on moving air masses. These forces deflect air masses and intensify spiral motion. It intensifies cyclonic activity, rather than weakens pressure gradients because acceleration directly amplifies the effects.
