Deserts often appear in bands along Earth's surface due to the patterns of atmospheric circulation, specifically the Hadley cells. As warm, moist air rises near the equator, it cools and loses moisture, resulting in rainfall. The dry air then descends around 30 degrees latitude, creating high-pressure areas that inhibit cloud formation and precipitation, leading to arid conditions. This process results in the characteristic banding of deserts in these regions.

Do the earthquakes appear to occur all over earths surface or only in isolated regions?
Earthquakes can occur all over Earth's surface, but they tend to be concentrated along tectonic plate boundaries. These boundaries include regions like the Ring of Fire and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where most earthquakes occur. However, isolated regions like intraplate seismic zones can also experience earthquakes.
What are tropical rainforests along the equator?
Deserts and rainforests
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
A fractured surface on Earth's crust when a mass of rocks is in motion is known as a fault. It occurs due to the movement of tectonic plates along a fracture line. This movement can result in earthquakes as energy is released when the rocks slide past each other along the fault.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?
Collide
What happens along a fault under the earths surface when an earthquake occurs?
it get weak
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Water that flows downhill along Earths surface is called?
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
Surface Waves?
waves that travels only on the surface
What name is given to slipping or sliding surface of parts of the earths surface?
The slipping or sliding surface of parts of the Earth's surface is known as a fault line. This is where movement occurs along the surface of the Earth, resulting in earthquakes.
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
