← GeographyWhich outcome results from air rising at equatorial latitudes?
A)Hadley cell development and precipitation✓
B)Deep ocean current formation
C)Decreased rate of plate subduction
D)Increased deposition on continental shelves
💡 Explanation
Hadley cell circulation is driven by the *convection* following solar exposure. Rising warm air at the equator creates low pressure prompting atmospheric instability; therefore, precipitation increases with greater Hadley cell development, rather than ocean circulation.
