Which outcome occurs when thermal gradients weaken meridional overturning?

A)Weak pressure gradient force emerges
B)Ferrel cell strengthens considerably
C)Polar cell collapses rapidly
D)Hadley cell circulation is disrupted

💡 Explanation

Disrupted radiative balance will reduce the tropical-polar temperature gradients, weakening the thermal forcing for Hadley cell circulation because the atmospheric pressure differences cannot be fully maintained, therefore resulting in reduced upper-level divergence, rather than enhanced cells from imbalances.
