Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 30° North latitude, the air is descending due to atmospheric circulation patterns. As the air sinks, it becomes compressed and heated, causing its relative humidity to decrease and becoming drier. This results in arid conditions in regions around this latitude, such as the Sahara desert and southwest United States. Therefore, option A - cool, dry air sinks, becoming drier as it heats up is the best choice.
