← GeographyWhich outcome is amplified with increased Rossby effect magnitude?
A)Ocean current heat transport efficacy
B)Equatorial upwelling nutrient delivery
C)Mid-latitude cyclone storm intensity✓
D)Coastal high tide inundation frequency
💡 Explanation
Increased Rossby effect causes more amplified mid-latitude waves because this effect is stronger. This increases the vorticity and energy available for cyclogenesis, therefore intensified storms are more likely, rather than altering tides or currents directly.
