Which storm behavior results when rising thermals at Hadley cell boundaries hit stable air?

A)Enhanced downdraft evaporative cooling
B)Amplified hurricane wind shear
C)Torrential rainfall and thunderstorms
D)Dissipated vortex stretching of air

💡 Explanation

Convectional lifting causes rapid condensation because moisture-laden air rises and cools until it hits stable air with limited mixing and abundant rainfall; therefore, storms intensify rather than dissipate, thanks to continuous ascent, and stronger updrafts rather than downdrafts form, which leads to vortex stretching.
