← GeographyWhich consequence occurs due to increased tropical convection?
A)Hadley cell boundary poleward expansion✓
B)Decreased mid-latitude jet stream strength
C)Weakening of Northern Hemisphere trade winds
D)Decreased precipitation intensity at ITCZ
💡 Explanation
Increased tropical convection strengthens the upper-level divergence, which promotes **Hadley cell intensification** leading to poleward expansion; this occurs because stronger upward motion forces air further poleward, therefore shifts boundaries rather than weakening them.
