← GeographyWhich outcome is observed following increased latent heat release within a Hadley cell?
A)Intensified subtropical high development✓
B)Weakened trade wind circulation strength
C)Decreased intertropical convergence subsidence
D)Poleward shift of the subtropical jet
💡 Explanation
Intensified Hadley cell circulation increases subtropical high pressure because greater rising air mass leads to enhanced adiabatic compression and therefore stronger high formation aloft, rather than weakening trade winds which are driven by the same cell mechanics.
