Which outcome occurs when increased terrestrial cloud cover disrupts atmospheric heat transfer?

💡 Explanation

A weaker Hadley cell circulation results because increased cloud cover reduces solar radiation reaching the surface, diminishing the temperature gradient that drives convective circulation; therefore Hadley cell weakens, rather than impacting ocean currents or salinity gradients.
