Which consequence results when descending air experiences rising pressure within subtropical gyre circulation?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure in descending air leads to adiabatic warming; this suppresses cloud formation because of increased water capacity via subsidence inversion. Therefore arid conditions develop over areas like the Sahara. The other options reflect other causal scenarios, rather than warming dry air.
