Which outcome is primarily caused when differential heating establishes atmospheric cells near the equator?

A)Meridional heat transport poleward
B)Intense high-latitude precipitation
C)Stratospheric ozone depletion cycles
D)Tropospheric radiative cooling delays

💡 Explanation

When equatorial regions receive more solar radiation, warmer air rises, cools aloft, and descends at subtropical latitudes establishing Hadley cells because density gradients induce convection. Therefore, a key outcome is strong meridional heat transport poleward, as these cells carry heat away from the tropics, rather than enhanced precipitation in other latitudes or affecting ozone/ cooling mechanics.
