In global convective circulation, air rises at the equator due to heating and creates a low-pressure zone. As the air moves towards the poles, it cools and sinks at the horse latitudes (around 30 degrees north and south of the equator). The sinking air creates a high-pressure zone at the horse latitudes, and the air then moves towards the poles where it sinks again. Therefore, the sinking occurs at the horse latitudes and the poles.
