Discussion
Arrange the following in order from the equator polewards.
1. the mid-latitude rainfall maximum
2. the equatorial rainfall maximum
3. the polar desert
4. the subtropical dry belt
Answer: A
Correct answer: 2 - 4 - 1 - 3
The pattern follows the general circulation. Rising air at the intertropical convergence zone gives the equatorial maximum; the descending branch of the Hadley cell gives the subtropical dry belt around 20 to 30 degrees; the mid-latitude storm track gives a second maximum around 40 to 60; and the cold, dry, subsiding air over the poles gives the polar desert.
