← GeographyWhich effect results when solar radiative heating intensifies?
A)Hadley cell expansion poleward increases✓
B)Decreased global evaporation rates occur
C)Stratospheric ozone destruction accelerates locally
D)Glacier mass balance reaches equilibrium
💡 Explanation
Increased solar heating amplifies the Hadley cell's transport capacity due to thermal lifting. This expansion occurs because stronger convection vertically transports air, therefore the cell expands poleward rather than contracting, which would reduce transport.
