Which outcome occurs when high altitude air streams descend at subtropical latitudes?

💡 Explanation

Deserts form because descending air warms through adiabatic heating, increasing its water-holding capacity; this evaporation suppresses precipitation. This creates desert regions rather than rainforests, because rainforests require moisture influx.
