Which phenomenon results from disruption of Hadley cell circulation patterns?

A)Expansion of subtropical desert regions
B)Intensified warm ocean current formation
C)Weakening of global monsoon systems
D)Decreased frequency of polar ice melt

💡 Explanation

When the Hadley cell circulation is disrupted, subsidence and adiabatic warming, normally concentrated at specific latitudes, extend further, because air descends over a wider region, suppressing precipitation. Therefore, the subtropical desert regions expand, rather than strengthening currents, weakening monsoons, or decreasing ice melt, each requiring other atmospheric mechanisms.
