← GeographyWhich outcome increases when thermal inversions interrupt Hadley cell circulation?
A)Surface air stagnation intensifies smog✓
B)Oceanic upwelling of colder waters weakens
C)Latitudinal heat transfer equilibrium fails
D)Precipitation band intertropical zone migrates
💡 Explanation
Smog accumulates because suppressing vertical air mixing during **atmospheric stability** prevents pollutants dispersing, therefore enhanced surface stagnation promotes smog intensification, rather than altering oceanic upwelling patterns or shifting precipitation belts directly.
