← GeographyWhich outcome follows when anticyclonic airflow amplifies near the 30° latitude regions?
A)Subtropical deserts form consistently✓
B)Equatorial rainforest evaporation accelerates
C)Polar vortex oscillation intensifies rapidly
D)Temperate zone storm tracks neutralize
💡 Explanation
The formation of subtropical deserts commonly occurs because intense high pressure builds with descending dry air created via Hadley cell circulation amplified due to the Coriolis effect. Therefore, this zone creates deserts rather than forests because air masses sink, inhibiting precipitation.
