Describe how both the Sahara desert at (30 degrees north latitude) and the Amazon rain forest (along the equator) are both products of the same process driven by Hadley cells.

What would be an ideal response?


Answer: if you we go on 30° latitude on either sides of equator, then the cool and dry air adiabatically warm and sink to bottom that is settle down on bottom surface, due to frictional flow it forms a loop and its forms a ferrrel cells. It absorbs atmospheric moisture and coriolis effect gives it's a westward direction that why we find desert on 30° latitude above equator and we find rainforest along equator in Amazon as it's bring rain to these regions
