← GeographyWhich result occurs due to latent heat during rapid tropical cyclogenesis?
A)Enhanced Ekman spiral upwelling
B)Intensified divergence aloft✓
C)Increased air-sea heat transfer
D)Reduced geostrophic wind balance
💡 Explanation
The latent heat significantly intensifies divergence aloft through convective destabilization. Condensation releases heat, boosting the buoyancy and upward acceleration; therefore upper-level divergence increases, furthering storm intensification, rather than other surface or wind effects.
