← GeographyWhich phenomenon suppresses cloud formation within Hadley cells?
A)Descending air and adiabatic warming✓
B)Increased surface evaporation across latitudes
C)Upper-level convergence wind patterns
D)Intense solar radiation absorption by ozone
💡 Explanation
Descending air within Hadley cells undergoes adiabatic warming, thus decreasing relative humidity because the air's capacity to hold moisture increases; therefore, cloud formation is suppressed, rather than promoted by other processes linked to rising, cooling air.
