Which atmospheric effect sharply defines subtropical high-pressure zones around 30 degrees latitude?

💡 Explanation

When air descends in Hadley cells, deflection from the Coriolis effect forces it to rotate as it approaches the surface, creating persistent high-pressure zones. Therefore Coriolis effect defines these subtropical highs, rather than heat release, ozone absorption, or temperature gradients, which affect other atmospheric processes.
