Which displacement results when significant continental landmasses interrupt Hadley cell air descent?

💡 Explanation

The continental landmass forces the descending dry air to move laterally, initiating the Ferrel cell. The resulting temperature difference causes the pressure imbalances that generate the Subtropical jet stream displacement rather than the Hadley cell completing as anticipated because of terrain.
