Question

what do you understand by air pressure belts on the earth?why there is low pressure on the equator​

Answer 1

Answer:

On the earth's surface, there are seven pressure belts. They are the Equatorial Low, the two Subtropical highs, the two Subpolar lows, and 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...

Areas where the air is warmed often have lower pressure because the warm air rises. These areas are called low pressure systems. ... Because of Earth's spin and the Coriolis Effect, winds of a low pressure system swirl counterclockwise north of the equator and clockwise south of the equator
