Which effect intensifies when warm airflow experiences persistent curvature?

💡 Explanation

Increased meridional heat transport occurs because the Coriolis effect strengthens as air masses move over long distances, creating curved paths. The amplification moves tropical heat poleward, rather than having only local dispersion, therefore transport is intensified more quickly.
