Which weather pattern results at locations where the descending air of a Hadley cell dominates?

💡 Explanation

When air descends in a Hadley cell, adiabatic compression occurs because increased pressure heats the air, decreasing relative humidity and inhibiting cloud formation, leading to arid conditions. Therefore deserts form, producing low rainfall, rather than rainforests, temperate climates or cyclones requiring different atmospheric dynamics.
