Which outcome occurs when increased surface heating disrupts Hadley cells?

A)Expansion of subtropical desert regions
B)Diminished strength of polar jet
C)Increased frequency of La Niña events
D)Weakening of deep ocean layering

💡 Explanation

A weakening of Hadley cells leads to changes in precipitation patterns as the Intertropical Convergence Zone shifts, because the atmospheric circulation is altered by **thermal forcing**, leading to expansion of subtropical desert regions; therefore drying increases, rather than changes in jet streams.
