Answer 1

The level of precipitation is impacted by the latitude. For example, at the equator the heating causes air to rise and evaporation of water which condenses forms clouds and rains on the equator. This then leaves the air dryer and cooler so when it sinks over the tropics it is dry. Precipitation is also impacted by the structure of atmospheric layers through which the rain falls.
