How does the air moves at the tropic of cancer and the tropic of cancer?

At the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, air movement is influenced by the Hadley cells, which are large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns. Warm air rises near the equator, creating a low-pressure zone that leads to the movement of air towards the poles. As this air cools and descends around the tropics, it creates high-pressure areas, resulting in trade winds that blow from east to west. This circulation contributes to the distinct climate patterns experienced in these regions, including arid deserts and seasonal weather changes.
