Which risk increases when descending air amplifies subtropical high-pressure cells?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced desert formation risk increases because high-pressure systems inhibit cloud formation and precipitation. This stability is driven by adiabatic compression from subsidence, a process amplified by increased intensity cells; therefore droughts become more probable, rather than increased precipitation elsewhere.
