Which outcome occurs when excessive aerosols accumulate over subtropical Hadley cells?

A)Weakened subtropical high pressures develop
B)Polar front jet stream strengthens
C)Trade wind intensity noticeably increases
D)Tropical cyclone formation will accelerate

💡 Explanation

Aerosol accumulation can suppress convection within Hadley cells; this weakens the pressure gradient because the aerosol layer reflects solar radiation, therefore, weakening the subtropical high, rather than strengthening the jet stream further poleward.
