Hadley Circulation

Hadley Circulation is a system of air movement in the Earth's atmosphere that helps regulate climate. It occurs when warm air near the equator rises, cools, and then moves towards the poles. As it cools, it sinks back down, creating a circular pattern. This circulation influences weather patterns, generating tropical climates near the equator and deserts at around 30 degrees latitude, where many major deserts are located. Essentially, it plays a crucial role in distributing heat and moisture across the planet, affecting ecosystems and human activities.
