← GeographyWhich pressure outcome results when differential heating disrupts Hadley cell equilibria?
A)Increased subtropical high pressure zones✓
B)Strengthened polar low pressure systems
C)Weakened equatorial low pressure belt
D)Decreased mid-latitude cyclone intensity
💡 Explanation
Increased subtropical high pressure results because rising air in Hadley cells cools and descends, creating high pressure; this intensifies due to overall energy imbalance, rather than suppressing equatorial lows or affecting polar system strength via jet stream modulation.
