← GeographyWhich outcome results when differences in tropospheric temperature contribute to variations across latitudes?
A)Latitudinal air pressure gradient force✓
B)Decreased surface ocean current strength
C)Increased precipitation global averages
D)Diminished upper-level atmospheric turbulence
💡 Explanation
A latitudinal air pressure gradient force develops because differential heating across Earth varies air density. The Coriolis effect deflects air flow in response to the pressure gradient force, therefore creating prevailing wind patterns, rather than weakening ocean currents.
