Question

Explain why low pressure belts prevails over the equatorial region?​

Answer 1

Answer:

On the earth's surface, there are sevenpressure belts. ... This is due to the spherical shape of the earth—different parts of the earth are heated unequally. The Equatorial region receives great amount of heatthroughout the year. Warm air being light, the air at the Equator rises, creating a low pressure.

Answer 2

Along the equator lies a belt of low pressure known as the " equatorial low or doldrums " .

Low air pressure in equatorial region is due to the fact that hot air ascends there with a gradual decrease in temperature causing thinness of air on the surface.
