Which global weather pattern is significantly influenced by the Coriolis effect deflection acting on zonal wind circulation?

A)Coastal upwelling formation in equatorial thermocline
B)Intensification of mid-latitude cyclonic storms
C)El Niño-Southern Oscillation frequency variation
D)Ice-albedo feedback in Arctic sea ice melt

💡 Explanation

When zonal winds encounter deflective force stemming from Earth's rotation via the coriolis effect, circular movement increases because differences in rotational speeds alter forces based on latitudinal zones, amplifying disturbances. Therefore mid- Latitude storms are intensified,rather than affecting equatorial systems, El Nino-southern osciallation phenomenon or purely polar Ice changes which operate by different mechanisms related temperatures.
