Which phenomenon causes poleward heat transport within Earth's atmosphere?

A)Latent heat transfer from evaporation
B)Hadley cell atmospheric circulation
C)Stratospheric ozone absorption
D)Ocean current thermohaline circulation

💡 Explanation

When solar radiation warms equatorial regions, a Hadley cell atmospheric circulation forms because warm air rises, travels poleward, cools, and descends, transporting heat away from the equator. Therefore Hadley cell circulation causes the poleward flux rather than ozone absorption or ocean circulation that operate through different drivers.
