← GeographyWhich atmospheric consequence occurs when polar cell weakening develops?
A)Greater mid-latitude temperature volatility✓
B)Strengthened tropical cyclone intensification
C)Increased stratospheric ozone depletion
D)Enhanced deep ocean upwelling intensity
💡 Explanation
Greater mid-latitude temperature volatility results because a weakened polar cell reduces the poleward heat transport via disruptions in advection; therefore, greater volatility occurs with increased likelihood of extreme weather, rather than enhanced ocean upwelling.
