Above which oceanic zone would upwelling weaken the tropical Hadley cell?

A)Eastern Pacific coastal margins
B)Arctic ice melt regions
C)The Antarctic circumpolar zone
D)Deep ocean hydrothermal vent fields

💡 Explanation

Weakened eastern boundary upwelling reduces the temperature gradient, causing the Hadley cell intensity to decrease because Walker circulation diminishes reducing the pressure differences and convection in the eastern Pacific, rather than producing the opposite effect or disrupting polar systems.
