Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hadley cells are a type of atmospheric circulation cell that dominates the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. They are not associated with the polar circulation and do not occur at great depth in the oceans. Hadley cells are most vertically symmetrical on either side of the equator at the equinoxes when the sun is directly overhead, leading to more even heating and cooling of the air masses.
