Which changes can result from subtropical high-pressure zone strengthening?

💡 Explanation

Stronger high-pressure zones enhance atmospheric stability and subsidence, thus decreasing cloud formation where Hadley cells descend; therefore less (rather than more) precipitation occurs because atmospheric stability suppresses convection.
