Which consequence results when high surface albedo interferes with Hadley cell formation?

A)Deserts migrate toward the equator
B)Increased coastal rainfall occurs regionally
C)Temperate zone storm intensity increases
D)Decreased trade winds enhance upwelling cooling

💡 Explanation

Reduced solar absorption from increased albedo disrupts the Thermal Gradient mechanism driving Hadley cell atmospheric circulation, because heating imbalances weaken the upward and sinking airflows; therefore, desertification expands towards the equator, rather than altered coastal rainfall.
