← GeographyWhich risk increases as polar ice melts, influencing Hadley cell behavior?
A)Weakened temperature gradient✓
B)Increased thermohaline circulation
C)Strengthened subtropical jet stream
D)Reduced tropospheric ozone depletion
💡 Explanation
A weakened temperature gradient creates a weaker Hadley cell via *thermal forcing*, because less heat is available to drive convection; therefore, atmospheric circulation slows, rather than strengthening jet streams or reducing ozone.
