← GeographyWhich phenomenon is enhanced near 60° latitude because air converges?
A)Intense cyclone formation✓
B)Strong offshore breezes
C)Elevated volcanic activity
D)Increased coastal upwelling
💡 Explanation
Cyclone formation is enhanced via cyclogenesis when intense low pressure forms caused by converging air masses due to the Ferrel cell; the polar front increases baroclinicity, therefore storms result here rather than diverging winds, topography, or ocean currents alone.
