The Formation of a Savanna Biome is Largely Due to the _______

Question

The formation of a savanna biome is largely due to the _______ cell.
A) Hadley
B) Ferrel
C) Polar

Accepted Answer

The Hadley cell is responsible for creating a distinct climate pattern that includes a wet season and a dry season, which is characteristic of savannas. As warm, moist air rises at the equator, it cools and releases precipitation. This results in a belt of rainforests around the equator. As the now-dry air descends towards the tropics, it warms and absorbs water vapor, creating arid conditions. In this belt of arid climate, savannas form as a transition zone between the rainforest and desert biomes.
