Assertion (A): Ocean gyres are intensified on their western sides.
Reason (R): The Coriolis parameter varies with latitude, which concentrates the return flow against the western boundary.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the cause, and the result is that a handful of narrow currents carry most of the poleward heat transport of the ocean. The Coriolis parameter varies with latitude. A few narrow jets carry most of the transport.
