← GeographyWhich 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.
