Near large desert regions, which outcome results from subsidence within the Hadley cell?

💡 Explanation

Descending air undergoes adiabatic warming, increasing its water vapor holding capacity, because downward movement inhibits condensation and precipitation. This stable condition leads to reduced rainfall; therefore, deserts form, rather than increased convective rainfall or cloud development.
