Which phenomenon amplifies the Coriolis effect, causing the formation of strong jet streams?

A)Latitudinal temperature gradients
B)Oceanic salinity variations
C)Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels
D)Continental landmass configurations

💡 Explanation

When temperature gradients exist, the pressure gradient force increases, enhancing the Coriolis effect because stronger pressure differences results increased wind speeds deflected further. Therefore, jet streams form along these boundaries, rather than by salinity, carbon dioxide, or landmass configurations, which affect different processes.
