← GeographyWhich 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.
