Which 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.
