Which airflow results from an idealized, non-rotating Earth experiencing greater equatorial heating?

A)Air rises vertically without deflection
B)Strong latitudinal wind banding forms
C)Jet stream development at the poles
D)Reversed Hadley cell circulation occurs

💡 Explanation

Convection uniformly distributes heat worldwide. Uniform solar heating without the Coriolis effect results in a single, intense Hadley cell where air rises and descends without deflection, because no rotational force induces the winds to turn, therefore, vertical circulation occurs rather than banded airflow.
