Which outcome is triggered when high-altitude atmospheric streams encounter a region with amplified subsidence?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric streams increase the compression of air where subsidence intensifies; **adiabatic compression** then drives atmospheric parcels to form high pressure anticyclones rather than lower pressure weather patterns because density increases further aloft therefore impeding vertical motion.
