This sets up a cell rotating in the opposite direction lying further to the north and south. This effect persists all the way to the polar regions. These segregated regions of air in motion are called Hadley cells . The Earth's rotation causes a deflection of the winds comprising Hadley cells, setting up persistent wind patterns, for example the trade winds and the furious forties . The Hadley cells set up by the uneven, latitudally-dependant influx of solar radiation is really just a grand conspiracy by the Earth to distribute energy evenly across its surface.
Many cyclical processes identified in nature serve the same purpose.
Just as nature abhors a vacuum, so does it dislike concentrated energy. Let's think about Hadley cells and climate systems in terms of our description of a heat engine. The Hadley heat engine exploits a latitudally-variable temperature difference to do work. It does work on water from the oceans. Once the water has evaporated, the heat input goes towards lifting water vapor higher into the atmosphere.
