Question

Explain the swimming of the pressure belt with the help of diagram

Answer 1

Pressure belts are seasonally identical horizontal pressure variations created in the earth’s atmosphere just above the earth’s surface due to seasonal and spatial variation of energy received by the earth at different places. [Energy received determines the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at a place and variations in pressure exerted determines the direction and velocity of the wind.]

Spatial variation is due to the Geoid (Onion shape) shape of the earth, i.e. the tropics receive maximum energy as they are more or less perpendicular to the sun’s rays whereas the polar regions receive minimum as they make an angle far lesser than 90 degree with the sun’s rays. The temperate regions receive energy somewhere in between the tropics and the polar regions.

Answer 2

Answer:

The main reason the people of Amazon build their houses on stilts or trees near the Amazon basin because, during the rainy or monsoon season, the Amazon River rises, often causing floods in the basins. So, just for the protection... the people build their houses on stilts or tree
