← GeographyWhich effect increases when a pressure gradient intensifies across latitudes?
A)High-altitude wave cyclogenesis✓
B)Deep ocean thermohaline circulation.
C)Stable boundary layer formation
D)Tropical cyclone static stability
💡 Explanation
High-altitude wave cyclogenesis strengthens due to increased Coriolis force. Therefore, faster air flow from an amplified pressure gradient deflects more strongly due to the deflection, initiating cyclonic rotation, because there's greater energy input at higher altitudes, rather than boundary layer effects acting locally.
