The Hadley Cell is rising air over the equatorial trough and sinking air over the subtropical high pressure belt producing trade winds returning to the equatorial trough.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement describes the basic concept of the Hadley Cell, where warm and moist air rises at the equatorial region and travels towards the poles before sinking at the subtropical high pressure zone. The sinking air creates a region of high pressure that causes the trade winds, which blow towards the equatorial trough to replace the rising air.
