The Hadley cell and Ferrel cell are separated by the subtropical high-pressure belt, which is located around 30° latitude in both hemispheres. Here, air sinks and diverges toward the equator and the poles.
Explanation:
The 'Dust Bowl' of the 1930s in the United States was caused by severe drought and poor agricultural practices (over-plowing) that led to massive dust storms, particularly in the Great Plains.
