We can understand the general circulation of the atmosphere by formulating a general theory of the Hadley Cell and its development and progression. Due to the uneven heating of the earth, the equator receives significantly more solar radiation and thermal energy than do higher latitudes. As a result, rising motion and convection occur in this the region known as the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). As a result of this rising motion, at the surface air moves equator-ward to replace the air displaced by convection, and air moves poleward aloft before sinking again at about 30o latitude.
