← GeographyWhich storm trajectory results when differential solar heating and the Coriolis effect intensify?
A)Deepening mid-latitude cyclone development✓
B)Decreased polar vortex stability
C)Weakening subtropical high pressure
D)Accelerated thermohaline circulation slowdown
💡 Explanation
Deepening mid-latitude cyclones develop because intensified heating amplifies pressure gradients, which enhances the Coriolis effect, leading to stronger cyclonic rotation centered at low pressure; therefore, a more intense cyclone forms, rather than the other weather phenomena.
