← GeographyWhich geographic pattern develops due to upper-level divergence?
A)Subtropical desert belts formation✓
B)Increased coastal upwelling events
C)Intensified mid-latitude cyclone activity
D)Decreased equatorial rainforest precipitation
💡 Explanation
Descending air from Hadley cells creates subtropical high-pressure zones, leading to aridity; therefore, deserts form rather than increased upwelling, because the Coriolis effect deflects winds, preventing consistent upwelling unlike in coastal regions.
