← GeographyWhich consequence results when high surface albedo interferes with Hadley cell formation?
A)Deserts migrate toward the equator✓
B)Increased coastal rainfall occurs regionally
C)Temperate zone storm intensity increases
D)Decreased trade winds enhance upwelling cooling
💡 Explanation
Reduced solar absorption from increased albedo disrupts the Thermal Gradient mechanism driving Hadley cell atmospheric circulation, because heating imbalances weaken the upward and sinking airflows; therefore, desertification expands towards the equator, rather than altered coastal rainfall.
