← GeographyWhich outcome results from intensified ocean evaporation due to the Albedo effect?
A)Strengthened thermohaline circulation patterns
B)Decreased global precipitation averages
C)Increased frequency coastal flooding events✓
D)weakened Coriolis effect due reduced salinity gradients
💡 Explanation
When the Albedo effect increases due to decreased ice cover, intensified ocean evaporation occurs because less solar radiation is reflected, increasing water temperatures which accelerates evaporation, contributing significantly increased sea levels during storm events. Therefore increases frequency coastal flooding happens, rather than those of atmospheric pressure patterns, decreased, since storm surges worsen in intensity.
