← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased Saharan dust deposition decreases solar radiation?
A)Weakened Atlantic hurricane intensity✓
B)Strengthened North Atlantic Current
C)Increased Amazon rainforest precipitation
D)Intensified East African monsoons
💡 Explanation
Weakened hurricanes result because reduced surface temperatures from diminished solar fluxes decrease atmospheric instability; this causes less convection through the Saffir-Simpson Scale mechanism, therefore fewer intense storms form, rather than strengthening (B), rainfall (C), or monsoon (D).
