Which outcome occurs when Northern Hemisphere Hadley cell dynamics weaken?

A)Increased desert formation at 30°N
B)Northward shift of the intertropical convergence
C)Strengthened prevailing northwesterly winds
D)Decreased cyclone frequency at 60°N

💡 Explanation

A weakened Hadley cell disrupts the atmospheric pressure gradient because the thermal driving mechanism is reduced, therefore the Intertropical Convergence Zone shifts northward rather than remaining stable. This differs from desert expansion which requires cell strengthening.
