← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased terrestrial cloud cover disrupts atmospheric heat transfer?
A)A weaker Hadley cell circulation✓
B)Intensified coastal upwelling events
C)Decreased ocean salinity gradients
D)Strengthened thermohaline conveyor belt
💡 Explanation
A weaker Hadley cell circulation results because increased cloud cover reduces solar radiation reaching the surface, diminishing the temperature gradient that drives convective circulation; therefore Hadley cell weakens, rather than impacting ocean currents or salinity gradients.
