Which outcome occurs when mountain ranges disrupt Hadley cell circulation?

A)Rain shadow formation downwind slopes
B)Increased subtropical glacial expansion
C)Equatorial jet stream intensification increase drastically
D)Polar vortex destabilization expands eastward

💡 Explanation

Orographic lift causes adiabatic cooling and precipitation on the windward side; therefore, rain shadow formation occurs on the leeward side, because rising air loses moisture; rather than glacial expansion dominated by temperature or jet streams influenced by temperature gradients.
