What is the climate at 30 degrees south?
At 30 degrees latitude, the dry air creates deserts. Major deserts of the world, including the Sahara, Arabian, Gobi, Great Victoria, Kalahari, Atacama, and the Chihuahuan/Sonoran deserts occur around 30° N or 30° S.
What type of climate would you expect at 30 degrees north and south?
The air that rises at the solar equator descends near 30 degrees N or S. As the air mass strikes the ground in subtropical latitudes and spreads to the north and south, it draws moisture from the land, creating zones of arid climate centered at latitudes of about 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
What type of climate would be found at 15 degrees north and 15 degrees south?
Many areas near the equator have tropical climates. Most places with tropical climates are between 15 degrees north and 15 degrees south latitude.
Does the air at 30 degrees north and south rise or sink?
At 30° latitude (both north and south), the equatorial air has cooled and sinks, creating a high pressure zone and pushing the surface air away to the north or south. At 60° latitude (both north and south), cold polar air meets warm air from the south.
What biome is 50 50 degrees north?
Arctic tundra is a very cold, windy, and treeless biome that’s snow-covered for much of the year. It’s found in the northern hemisphere, encircling the north pole and extending south across parts of Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, and Scandinavia, to the coniferous forests of the taiga.
What ocean lies at 15s 150w?

What causes air to sink near the latitude 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south?
At about 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitude, some of the cool air begins to sink. Cool, sinking air causes high pressure belts near 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. The cool air flows back to the equator where it warms and rises again. At the poles, cold air sinks and moves toward the equator.
Where is 15 degrees north?
The 15th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 15 degrees north of the Earth’s equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean.
What happens when the Earth is at 30 degrees north or South?
But by the time it reaches about 30 degrees north and south latitude, it’s cool enough to sink back to the surface. This creates high pressure (H), which means drier conditions. Most of the world’s deserts are at these latitudes!
What is the latitude of the 15th parallel?
The 15th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 15 degrees north of the Earth’s equatorial plane.
Is the Tropic of Capricorn north or South?
This tropical rain belt runs along the equator and spreads out to about the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 north latitude) and Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 south latitude). But by the time it reaches about 30 degrees north and south latitude, it’s cool enough to sink back to the surface.
