Which global weather pattern establishes persistent arid conditions near 30° latitude?

💡 Explanation

Subsidence within the Hadley cells creates high pressure at 30° latitude, reducing precipitation there because descending air warms and dries via adiabatic compression. Therefore, deserts form here, rather than at the equator where moist air rises.
