← GeographyWhich outcome is potentiated by Earth's greater Coriolis effect?
A)Intensified extratropical cyclone formation✓
B)Weakened equatorial trade winds
C)Smaller polar cell boundaries
D)Reduced coastal upwelling strength
💡 Explanation
Extratropical cyclones strengthen because the Coriolis effect deflects moving air masses, intensifying rotation. Therefore, storm intensity increases rather than weakening trade winds, shifting polar cells, or uniformly changing coastal upwelling, where other factors dominate locally.
