A first approximation for the structure of solar emerged flux tubes is made possible by a model of adiabatic flux tubes rooted in the stable layer below the convective zone. In addition to obtaining an estimate of the horizontal flux system position from the observed photosphere field strength, it is shown that a horizontal drift must occur due to unbalanced tension in the horizontal part of emerged flux tubes. An important new problem, of horizontal flux system initial destabilization, is encountered. It is suggested that the horizontal drift of emerged flux tubes, coupled with the Coriolis effect, may play an essential role in the regenerative process underlying the solar cycle, where flux tubes with following polarity move against the direction of rotation and direct the Coriolis force towards the pole in each hemisphere. It is concluded that the model presented may lead to a better understanding of the solar cycle.
