Hadley cell
Direct heating at equator. Warm air rises creating low pressure. The air eventually collected and sinks over the tropics making high pressure zones
Ferrel cell
Sits between the other two cells. Takes in the warm air from the tropics and transfers it to the higher latitudes, reducing deficit at the poles and the surplus at the tropics
Polar cells
The air sinks at the poles creating high pressure areas. The air warms, rises at the sub-tropics and is then returned to the poles
