Which outcome occurs when a high-pressure system stalls over major atmospheric river pathways?

A)Intensified coastal flooding and erosion
B)Decreased salinity in ocean currents
C)Reduced likelihood of major earthquakes
D)Increased stratospheric ozone depletion

💡 Explanation

Intensified coastal flooding happens because **orographic lift** causes concentrated precipitation as moist air rises, therefore increasing flood risk, rather than altering ocean currents or geologic stresses which have distinct drivers.
