Question

why is equator associated with low pressure and the poles with high pressure

Answer 1

$\huge\red{\fbox{\tt{Aɴѕωєя࿐}}}$

When the warmed air rises, there is less air near the surface, with a consequent decrease in surface pressure. The equator is an area where such low pressure occurs regularly.Thus, the constant low pressure in the equatorial zone and the high pressure at the poles are thermally induced.
