Which effect on trade winds arises when air transitions between Hadley and Ferrel cells?

A)Deflection towards the west
B)Acceleration to higher altitudes
C)Dissipation into calm conditions
D)Intensification of surface pressure

💡 Explanation

Trade winds deflect west due to the Coriolis effect influencing air moving from high to low pressure; because of Earth's rotation, trajectories curve. Trade winds don't accelerate vertically therefore, rather than influencing altitude, deflection modifies the circulation pattern.
