← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when decreased surface friction stabilizes Hadley cells?
A)Equatorial cloud band intensification✓
B)Weakening of subtropical high pressure
C)Poleward expansion of desert regions
D)Strengthening of mid-latitude cyclones
💡 Explanation
Intensified upward motion and increased moisture convergence results from undisturbed airflow. This reinforces the Intertropical Convergence Zone due to enhanced atmospheric organization; therefore clouds dramatically intensify in equatorial regions, rather than other regions weakening as surface friction decreases.
