D) release of latent heat

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general subsidence in the latitude zone of 20 degrees to 35 degrees is influenced by both the Coriolis force, which affects the movement of air masses, and radiation cooling, which occurs as air masses move away from the equator and cool down, leading to sinking air (subsidence).
