← GeographyWhich net outcome results as warmer tropical air undergoes latitudinal transport?
A)Deflection creating trade winds.✓
B)Stratospheric ozone layer collapse.
C)Decreased continental precipitation levels.
D)Amplification of ocean surface currents.
💡 Explanation
Air flows poleward but deflects due to the Coriolis effect, causing the air to deflect westward as it moves away from the equator, therefore generating trade winds, rather than direct poleward winds, because of Earth's rotation.
