Hadley cells Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

PUBH 6011unit 2 Exam Questions with Correct Answers What are the Hadley cells and why are there rainforests near the equator? - Answer-Six cells around the earth in a slinky coil with airflow from around the ocean and down to the equator bringing in humidified air in a circular pattern. This is why there are rain forests at the equator. Equatorial sun heats ocean - humidified air, the hot air rises and cools, water vapor condenses from colder air and then it rains à leads to rain forests ...

Define convection current. - Circular currents in the mantle caused by the magma being heated by the core off the Earth. Explain how convection cells cause local winds - Local winds are the result of convection on a small scale. They occur when Earth's surface is heated unevenly. For example, you've probably noticed that large bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, are often much cooler than the nearby land surfaces during the day. The air above the warm surface absorbs heat from the ...
