The following statement is RIGHT.
Explanation:
- The global horizontal distribution of pressure refers to the distribution of atmospheric pressure across latitudes. Its most distinguishing aspect is its zonal nature, which is referred to as pressure belts.
- There are seven pressure belts on the earth's surface. The Equatorial Low, two Sub-Tropical highs, two Sub-polar lows, and two Polar highs are the four. The others, with the exception of the Equatorial low, form matching pairs in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
- Over the earth, there is a pattern of alternate high and low pressure belts. This is related to the earth's spherical form, which causes uneven heating in different places of the globe.
