← GeographyWhich atmospheric phenomenon is intensified by extensive tephra emission?
A)Global albedo increase✓
B)Enhanced Hadley cell circulation
C)Increased Rossby wave amplitude
D)Accelerated orographic precipitation
💡 Explanation
Extensive tephra injection increases global albedo because suspended particles reflect solar radiation via Mie scattering. Therefore a higher albedo, rather than changing wind patterns, causes cooling because outgoing radiation changes.
