← GeographyWhich atmospheric phenomenon results from thermally-driven convection cells?
A)Equatorial high precipitation and cloudiness✓
B)Stratospheric ozone depletion expansion
C)Decreased thermohaline circulation strength
D)Increased continental ice sheet albedo
💡 Explanation
Hadley cell circulation causes persistent uplift in the Intertropical Convergence Zone because differential solar heating establishes a large-scale thermal circulation. Therefore, abundant rainfall results, rather than stratospheric changes which are affected by chemical processes.
