Which outcome would result if Hadley cells weaken?

A)Deserts expand poleward significantly
B)Tropical cyclone intensity decreases steadily
C)Jet stream latitudes decrease steadily
D)Ocean salinity near the equator decreases

💡 Explanation

Weakened Hadley cells reduce latitudinal heat transport that causes a decreased subtropical subsidence, resulting in desert expansion because the Intertropical Convergence Zone loses intensity near the equator; therefore, the poles experience increased precipitation rather than other effects.
