Question

What are pressure belts?


​

Answer 1

Explanation:

On the earth's surface, there are seven pressure belts.

1. They are the Equatorial Low,
2. the two Subtropical highs,
3. the two Subpolar lows, and
4. the two Polar highs.

Warm air being light, the air at the Equator rises, creating low pressure.

At the poles the cold heavy air causes high pressure to be created/formed.

Answer 2

Answer:

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. ... This low pressure belt extends from 0 to 5° North and South of Equator.
