Answers
doldrums :
a state or period of stagnation or depression.
Answer:
(1)The "doldrums" is a popular nautical term that refers to the belt around the Earth near the equator where sailing ships sometimes get stuck on windless waters. ... Due to intense solar heating near the equator, the warm, moist air is forced up into the atmosphere like a hot air balloon
(2)foehn. A warm, dry, and often strong wind coming off the lee slopes of a mountain range, especially off the northern slopes of the Alps
(3)Isobars are atoms (nuclides) of different chemical elements that have the same number of nucleons. Correspondingly, isobars differ in atomic number (or number of protons) but have the same mass
(4)Any wind system of the earth's atmosphere which owes its existence and direction to solar radiation and to the rotation of the earth.
(5)the Coriolis Effect makes things (like planes or currents of air) traveling long distances around Earth appear to move at a curve as opposed to a straight line
(6)The westerlies, anti-trades, or prevailing westerlies, are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. They originate from the high-pressure areas in the horse latitudes and trend towards the poles and steer extratropical cyclones in this general manner
