Which air mass behavior results along boundaries between atmospheric circulation cells?

💡 Explanation

Air masses converge due to air rising in the Hadley cell circulation. Convergence aloft results in uplift, causing cooling and condensation, leading to cloud formation and potential precipitation, because uplift promotes convection. Therefore, clouds form rather than clear skies because subsidence prevents cloud development.
