Currently, the Earth has 3 windcells: Hadley Ferrel and Polar. Those 3 cells heavily influence Earth's temperature and precipitation influence according to the latitude:
At 0 degrees (the equator) the air mainly rises, resulting in rain, and the high temperatures cause thunder. At 30 degrees, the air sinks, causing stability and dry conditions. At 60 degrees, the rises again just like in the equator, but the temperatures are lower, causing frontal thunderless rain. At 90 degrees, the air sinks, causing dry and frigid condtions. What would the Earth look like if the air sunk at the equator, rose at the subtropics, sunk at temperate regions and rose at the poles? I think the tropics would be barren deserts with temperatures of 40C all year, occasionally reaching 70C. The subtropics would be tropical rainforests with mild winters, much like Southeastern China and Taiwan. The temperate regions would be xeric scrublands. The regions close to the poles would be deciduous forests where the trees go dormant at the start of the winter, those regions would be very cloudy as well. Maybe the poles would be a taiga or even a tundra, with summer temperatures of 10C and winters averaging around -20C. A hotter equator and wetter poles would mean a much hotter planet.
So what do you think would happen if the air sunk at the equator and rose at the poles?
