How does increased land surface albedo affect Hadley cell intensity?

A)Ascent weakens, cell contracts
B)Descent weakens, cell expands
C)Ascent strengthens, cell expands
D)Descent strengthens, cell contracts

💡 Explanation

Increased albedo reflects more sunlight, reducing surface heating; the Hadley cell is driven by this warm air rising via thermal expansion, therefore reduced input weakens this Convection mechanism. The ascent weakens and the cell contracts, rather than expanding because this diminishes the available energy.
