Concept explainers
Suppose global air circulation suddenly reversed, with moist air ascending at 30° north and south latitude and descending at the equator. At what latitude would you most likely find deserts in this scenario?
To determine: The latitude in which deserts be found if the global air circulation is reversed.
Introduction:
Latitudes are imaginary lines that pass through the earth surface. They divide the earth horizontally and at equator the latitude is
Explanation of Solution
The movement of air determines the weather of a particular area. The deserts are mostly found in a region where the dry air is present. Currently the deserts are found in the
If the air circulation is reversed then the deserts will most likely occur at
