Which atmospheric circulation pattern results from differential surface heating coupled with the Coriolis effect?

💡 Explanation

Hadley cell formation is caused by warm air rising at the equator (differential heating), flowing poleward, and being deflected by the Coriolis effect, therefore producing large-scale circulation; rather than the other options that are topography dependent.
