Answer:
On the earth's surface, there are seven pressure belts. They are the Equatorial Low, the two Subtropical highs, the two Subpolar lows, and the two Polar highs. ... Warm air being light, the air at the Equator rises, creating a low pressure. At the poles the cold heavy air causes high pressure to be created/formed.

Answer
A pressure belt is a region on the earth which is dominated by either high pressure cells or low pressure cells. The tropics about 22. 5 ° N / S is a low pressure belt. On both sides of the tropics there is high pressure belts. Oneither side of these are the polar low belts. These regions of pressure cells are called belts as they run around the earth as would a belt around one's waist. If there was no land masses on earth these belts would have been solid belts and not cells, but because of the land masses generating friction force to the atmosphere these belts are disiointed. Also if the earth did notrotate these belts would not occur. The tilt of the earth's axis makes these belts move north / south with the positioning of the sun, which results in the four seasons.
There are main main four pressure belts in the world.
1. Equatorial trough / equatorial low pressure belts. this extending from 0 - 5degrees north and south of the equatorial.
2 . Subtropical high pressure belts (30) degrees
3. Subpolar low pressure belts extending from 60 65 degrees north and south.
4. Polar High pressure belts extending from 85 - 90 north and south of the pole.
