Explanation:

Horizontally, on moving from Equator to Poles, temperature decreases and pressure increases; Vertically, temperature and pressure both decreases with altitudes/heights. Air pressure lapse rate: on moving from sea-level to altitudes or upwards in the atmosphere, air pressure decreases.


fartyalanshita25: At the equator, the altitude is lower and also because of the direct heating of sun rays on the surface, the temperature is much higher than at the poles. This makes the air near the surface hot and lighter and hence it rises up which results in lower air pressure.
