Which consequence results when subtropical high-pressure cells weaken?

A)Expansion of Hadley cell boundaries
B)Intensification of coastal upwelling
C)Diminished El Niño likelihood
D)Accelerated thermohaline circulation rate

💡 Explanation

Weaker subtropical high-pressure cells allows poleward movement, because the pressure gradient force decreases relative to inertial force and therefore the Hadley cell boundaries expand, rather than an intensified upwelling, which requires stronger pressure gradients.
