← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when regional low-pressure zones disrupt normal Hadley cell air descent?
A)Enhanced desert aridity expands geographically✓
B)Increased stratospheric ozone layer depletion
C)Decreased ocean salinity at Tropics
D)Intensified high latitude glacial melting
💡 Explanation
Enhanced desert aridity occurs because **adiabatic compression** reduces the relative humidity further because air descending suppresses precipitation enhancing existing dryness, rather than altering distant ozone/salinity/glacial effects unrelated to local descent dynamics and precipitation trends, therefore selecting A.
