← GeographyWhich feedback results from a disruption to Hadley cells?
A)Increased subtropical desertification intensifies albedo✓
B)Decreased polar ice formation reduces albedo
C)Increased mid-latitude cyclone development stabilises albedo
D)Decreased sea-level rise accelerates ocean currents
💡 Explanation
Increased subtropical desertification intensifies albedo due to reduced cloud cover and vegetation; this is a positive feedback within the cell's "thermal engine." This Amplified reflection maintains lower temperatures, because the area reflects solar forcing back into space, rather than absorbing it.
