← GeographyWhich outcome arises from the variation in insolation?
A)Formation of latitudinal atmospheric circulation cells✓
B)Increased levels of photochemical smog
C)Decreased glacial-isostatic rebound rates
D)Amplification of the Rossby wave amplitude
💡 Explanation
Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar cells establish global circulation because differential heating drives convection; warmer air rises at the equator. This leads to latitudinal variations in temperature and pressure, therefore circulation cells develop rather than a uniform atmospheric state.
