Hadley cell circulation is caused by the movement of high pressure from the latitudes at 5 to 30 degrees north and 5 to 30 degrees south to low pressure areas around the equator. The movement of air from high pressure to low pressure causes convergence. This convergence generates the production of wind. The winds that are produced from this are the trade winds. The winds blow from a northwest direction in the northern hemisphere ... axis. Two moving patterns of the general circulation of the atmosphere are the cyclones and anticyclones. Cyclones are low pressure systems characterized by converging and rising air. On the other hand anticyclones are characterized by high pressure because they have diverging air that is descending. There are also land and sea breezes which are produced by daily differences in cooling and heating of the land and water. Sea breezes bring ...
