← GeographyWhich atmospheric pressure outcome occurs when strong insolation amplifies Hadley cell convection?
A)Equatorial low-pressure belt expands✓
B)Polar high-pressure zone intensifies
C)Subtropical jet stream weakens
D)Mid-latitude cyclone activity decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased solar radiation causes intensified Hadley cell circulation via thermal expansion, therefore, amplifying the equatorial low-pressure belt because warmer, rising air creates lower surface than a stable vortex; rather than strengthening the polar high (related to cold, sinking air.)
