Which outcome results from increased subtropical high pressure due to a weakening Hadley cell?

💡 Explanation

The poleward expansion of desert regions results, because Hadley cell weakening decreases atmospheric moisture transport. Regions under the subtropical high experience increased subsidence from atmospheric stability and reduced precipitation therefore deserts expand rather than rainforest increasing or tropical cyclones increasing at lower latitudes.
