← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when rapid evaporation reduces streamflow into intertropical convergence zones?
A)Enhanced thermohaline oceanic circulation
B)Decreased upper-level atmospheric divergence
C)Intensified Hadley cell subsidence✓
D)Weakened easterly trade winds
💡 Explanation
Hadley cell subsidence intensifies because reduced moisture input through evaporation weakens condensation. This limits upper-level divergence, hindering the cells' upward motion rather than enhancing oceanic circulation, due to less latent heat release.
