Question

Equatorial Low Pressure Belt extends between: (i) 45° N and S Arctic and Antarctic Circles. (ii) 10° N and 10° S latitudes. (iii) tropics and 35° N and S latitudes. (iv) none of them.

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) The Equatorial Low Pressure Belt

This belt extends from equator to 100N and 100S latitudes. Due to excessive heating horizontal movement of air is absent here and only conventional currents are there. Therefore this belt is called doldrums (the zone of calm) due to virtual absence of surface winds.
