← GeographyWhich outcome occurs from increased pressure gradients influencing trade winds?
A)Intensified easterly deflection of winds✓
B)Weakened zonal weather pattern stability
C)Increased mid-latitude cyclone frequency
D)Diminished equatorial upwelling intensity
💡 Explanation
Increased pressure gradients amplify the Coriolis effect influence during trade wind transportation, leading to greater easterly wind deflection, because the stronger pressure force results in a larger meridional velocity for deflection. Therefore, intensified easterly deflection occurs, rather than altered cyclone behavior under normal conditions.
