← GeographyWhich risk increases when anticyclonic conditions disrupt Hadley cell patterns?
A)Extensive desertification near subtropical latitudes✓
B)Intensified coastal upwelling occurrences
C)Enhanced primary productivity in polar oceans
D)Decreased frequency of mid-latitude cyclones
💡 Explanation
Desertification increases when Hadley cells weaken because subsidence decreases precipitation; this disruption reduces moisture transport via atmospheric circulation, therefore arid regions expand rather than experiencing usual rainfall or different ocean productivity.
