← GeographyWhich weather outcome frequently results because of thermals influenced by the Coriolis effect?
A)Tropical cyclone rotation✓
B)Enhanced stratospheric Ozone depletion
C)Increased continental desertification
D)Reduced coastal upwelling intensity
💡 Explanation
Tropical cyclones rotate due to the *Coriolis effect* deflecting winds towards low pressure, causing rotation. Warm, moist air rises and starts spinning rather than flowing directly into the center of the low-pressure area; therefore, cyclones rotate.
