Consider the following statements: 1. Hadley cells are key to understanding the wind patterns of Earth. 2. Hadley cells are formed because the Equator is heated more strongly by the Sun than other places, creating thermal circulations. With regard to the statements given above, which of the following is correct?
- A. Both the statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1. ✓
- B. Both the statements are correct, but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1.

- D. Statement 1 is false, but statement 2 is correct.
Correct Answer: A. Both the statements are correct and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1.
Explanation
Both statements are correct, and the uneven heating of the Equator leading to thermal circulation is exactly what forms Hadley cells and explains their role in global wind patterns.
