Which outcome results when a persistent high-pressure system disrupts Hadley cell circulation?

💡 Explanation

Persistent high pressure can disrupt Hadley cell circulation via subsidence, which causes increased air stability and sinking motion. This suppresses cloud formation and precipitation, therefore intensifying aridification at those latitudes rather than increasing tropical rainfall because adiabatic warming suppresses cloud development.
