Answer:
The distribution of atmospheric pressure across the latitudes is termed as global horizontal distribution. This distribution is characterised by presence of distinctly identifiable zones of homogeneous pressure regimes or 'pressure belts'. On the earth's surface, there are in all seven pressure belt
Explanation:
As we go up the layers of the atmosphere, the pressure falls rapidly. The air pressure is highest at the sea level and decreases with height. Horizontally the distribution of air pressure is influenced by the temperature of the air at a given place. ... Heavy air sinks and creates a high-pressure area.
