Question

Ferrel cell exists between ______.

Options

• 0° − 30° N and S

• 30° − 60° N and S

• 60° − 90° N and S

• None of these.

Answer 1

Ferrel cell exists between 30° − 60° N and S.

Explanation:

The Ferrel cell is a mid-latitude convection cell that exists between the Sub-Tropical High Pressure Belt (around 30° latitude) and the Sub-Polar Low Pressure Belt (around 60° latitude) in both hemispheres. Air rises at the subpolar low-pressure belt and sinks at the subtropical high-pressure belt, creating the Ferrel circulation pattern between roughly 30° and 60° latitude north and south.
