← GeographyWhich climatic outcome correlates with increased Saharan Dust transport?
A)Suppressed Atlantic hurricane development cycle✓
B)Intensified Amazon rainforest precipitation patterns
C)Enhanced European algal bloom severity
D)Diminished Indian monsoon rainfall intensity
💡 Explanation
Saharan dust reduces Atlantic hurricanes, because dry, dusty air inhibits deep convection. This inhibits convection because dust absorbs solar radiation, which stabilizes the atmosphere; therefore, suppressing hurricane formation rather than affecting Amazon rainfall or algal blooms.
