Which outcome occurs when strong temperature gradients intersect polar streams?

A)Increased coastal fog formation occurs
B)Enhanced upper-level jet intensification
C)Strengthened stratospheric ozone depletion
D)Reduced sea level rise in tropics

💡 Explanation

Enhanced upper-level jet intensification will occur because the increased temperature gradient boosts the baroclinic instability mechanism, strengthening the Coriolis forces and thus jet stream winds. Therefore, the jet intensifies, rather than decreasing local fog; this is a large-scale weather dynamic.
