Which consequence results when thermal gradients weaken Hadley cell convection?

💡 Explanation

Weakened thermal gradients reduce the **Coriolis effect** on air masses because the cells circulate less vigorously; therefore deserts will expand equatorward where descending air is concentrated, rather than enhanced jet streams.
