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?

Hadley cells are large-scale pattern systems that circulate warm air from the Equator towards the poles and return cold air from the poles towards the Equator. The stronger solar heating at the Equator sets up these thermal circulations, validating both statements.
