Which mechanism causes tropical rainfall near the equator?

💡 Explanation

The Hadley cells cause rising air near the equator because surface heating generates **thermal updrafts** that converge and ascend, therefore increasing precipitation in the Intertropical Convergence Zone rather than Coriolis deflecting winds.
