Which outcome occurs when deforestation increases surface albedo?

💡 Explanation

Deforestation raises albedo, reflecting more solar radiation than forests; this weakens atmospheric heating leading to reduced convection and altered Hadley cell circulation, because it disrupts the thermal driving forces across latitudes. Therefore, large scale circulation patterns shift, rather than other local effects.
