Which phenomenon causes increased desert aridity when subtropical high-pressure cells strengthen?

💡 Explanation

Strengthened subtropical high-pressure cells enhance adiabatic compression heating because sinking air warms as the pressure increases, therefore reducing rainfall and creating more arid desert conditions, rather than triggering any significant change in atmospheric moisture transport.
