tropical circulation

Tropical circulation refers to the large-scale movement of air within Earth's tropical regions, primarily driven by warm temperatures and the heating of the Earth's surface. Warm air rises near the equator, creating low-pressure zones, and then moves toward the poles at higher altitudes. This creates a cycle where air rises, moves outward, cools, and sinks in different areas, forming patterns like the trade winds and the Hadley cells. These circulation patterns influence weather, helping to distribute heat and moisture around the tropics, and play a key role in phenomena such as hurricanes and monsoon systems.
