Which outcome results when stratospheric ozone depletes within Hadley cells?

A)Cooling of the upper troposphere
B)Increased surface UV-B radiation
C)Weakening of subtropical high pressure
D)Poleward expansion of the Ferrel cell

💡 Explanation

Increased surface UV-B radiation occurs because ozone depletion lessens UV absorption; the mechanism is direct radiative forcing. Therefore, harmful UV-B increases at the surface, rather than the Hadley cell weakening because this ozone loss has minimal impact on overall atmospheric circulation.
