Which climate outcome is amplified when deforestation reduces transpiration within a Hadley cell?

A)Increased diurnal temperature variation
B)Widespread coastal flooding events
C)Intensified stratospheric ozone depletion
D)Weakening of Walker circulation pattern

💡 Explanation

When deforestation decreases transpiration, latent heat flux decreases, raising surface temperatures due to increased sensible heat flux, amplifying the cell's instability because warmer air rises more vigorously. Therefore diurnal temperature variation is increased, rather than other global outcomes like flooding, ozone depletion, or Walker circulation, which are influenced by separate larger phenomena.
