Answer 2

Answer:

Pressure belts are formed on the earth's surface because of unequal heating of the earth by the sun and the difference in the heating pattern of land. Therefore, the correct option is d. Both a. and c.​

Explanation:

• The global horizontal pressure distribution refers to the distribution of atmospheric pressure across latitudes.
• Its most distinctive feature is its zonal nature, often known as pressure belts.
• The earth's surface is divided into seven pressure belts.
• The Equatorial Low, two Subtropical Highs, two Subpolar Lows, and two Polar Highs make up the seven of them.
• Around the world, there is a pattern of alternate high and low-pressure belts.
• This is due to the spherical shape of the Earth, which creates unequal heating in different parts of the world.
• The Equatorial region experiences a lot of heat throughout the year.
• Because warm air is light, the air in the Equator rises, resulting in low pressure.
• Due to the cold, heavy air, high pressure is created/formed at the poles.
• It's also due to the rotation of the earth.
• The rotation of the globe drives the majority of the air towards the Equator in the Subpolar zone creating a low-pressure belt in this region.
