← GeographyWhich regional effect strengthens as tropical Hadley cells expand?
A)Increased subtropical desertification✓
B)Decreased temperate zone storm intensity
C)Enhanced high-latitude algal blooms
D)Weakened equatorial ocean upwelling
💡 Explanation
Increased subsidence at cell peripheries dries the latitudes because adiabatic compression warms descending air—the mechanism intensifying subtropical aridity. Therefore, desertification increases rather than weakening; temperate zones and higher latitudes are affected differently.
