Question

What is the significance of shifting of pressure belts?

​

Answer 1

The distribution of atmospheric pressure across the latitudes is termed global horizontal distribution of pressure. There is a pattern of alternate high and low pressure belts over the earth. These belts are as under:

1. Equatorial low pressure belts

2. Sub-tropical high pressure belts

3. Circum-polar low pressure belts

4. Polar high pressure areas

The shifting of the pressure belts causes seasonal changes in the climate , especially between latitudes 30° and 40° in both hemispheres . In this region the Mediterranean type of climate is experienced because of shifting of permanent belts southwards and northwards with the overhead position of the Sun .
