Which outcome would occur if subtropical Hadley cells weaken?

A)Equatorial cloudiness band migrates poleward
B)Polar jet stream becomes more stable
C)Ozone layer depletion reverses fully
D)Stratospheric temperature gradients significantly decrease

💡 Explanation

Weakening Hadley cells reduce subtropical subsidence and latent heat transport via atmospheric circulation; therefore, the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) expands poleward. This effect is predicted rather than jets becoming stable, ozone recovering, or stratospheric gradients shrinking, because those link to other dominant controls.
