Which global outcome occurs when tropical sea surface temperatures increase?

💡 Explanation

Increased sea surface temperatures cause enhanced evaporation and rising air in the tropics; this strengthens Hadley cell convection because warmer air holds more moisture. Therefore, stronger circulation is the outcome, rather than changes to thermohaline circulation.
