Which outcome concerning the Earth's climate results when anthropogenic aerosols disrupt Hadley cell circulation?

A)Expansion of subtropical desert zones
B)Weakening of the Walker circulation
C)Intensification of polar vortex events
D)Increased frequency of La Niña events

💡 Explanation

The outcome is subtropical desert expansion because aerosols modify atmospheric stability, weakening upward motion within the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This causes a poleward shift in Hadley cell ascent rather than maintenance of normal boundaries; therefore, desert zones expand at lower latitudes.
