The Hadley cell circulations are bounded to the north and south by:
A)polar fronts
B)trade winds
C)subtropical convergence zones
D)subtropical high pressure belts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hadley cell circulations are characterized by warm air rising in the equatorial regions, moving towards the poles at high altitude, sinking back down at approximately 30 degrees north and south latitude, and then returning towards the equator at low altitude. The sinking air at 30 degrees north and south creates high pressure belts known as subtropical highs. Therefore, the Hadley cells are bounded to the north and south by subtropical high pressure belts.
