Which phenomenon leads to desert formation at approximately 30 degrees latitude north and south?

💡 Explanation

When warm air rises at the equator, it cools and descends at around 30 degrees latitude through the Hadley cells because of global atmospheric circulation patterns, creating high pressure and suppressing precipitation. Therefore desert formation results, rather than rainfall-promoting conditions from rising, low-pressure air masses.
