← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when polar cells weaken disproportionately?
A)Increased meridional temperature gradient✓
B)Decreased tropical cyclone formation
C)Strengthened subtropical jet stream
D)Weakened intertropical convergence zone
💡 Explanation
An increased meridional temperature gradient will occur. This is because diminished polar cell activity reduces the transfer of heat from the equator. Therefore, there is a larger temperature difference between the poles and the equator, rather than temperature homogenization.
