← GeographyWhich outcome follows increased evapotranspiration across tropical rainforests?
A)Increased convective precipitation downdraft intensity✓
B)Decreased mid-latitude jet stream strength
C)Reduced ocean salinity stratification stability
D)Enhanced thermohaline circulation variability
💡 Explanation
Increased evapotranspiration adds moisture and water vapor, triggering enhanced unstable atmospheric conditions; this causes convective uplift and more intense precipitation downdrafts because of latent heat release. Therefore, stronger downdrafts are observed rather than jet stream disruption.
