Discussion
Which effect does the descending branch of the Hadley cell produce at the surface?
Answer: D
Persistent subsidence near thirty degrees latitude warms and dries the air, suppressing cloud and producing the great deserts of both hemispheres. The distribution of the world's arid zones is thus a direct consequence of the general circulation. Equatorial rain forests lie beneath the ascending branch, and the storm track belongs to the baroclinic mid-latitudes rather than to the Hadley circulation. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
