What is the area around the equator where trade winds meet called?
The area around the equator where trade winds meet are called
Are Doldrums Regions Of light Or Absent Winds Near The Equator?
In the days of sail, ships could find themselves becalmed in the doldrums. The doldrums is a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm.
What is the zone of calm air or light winds near the equator called?
This area is just north of the equator and exists all around the planet. It is called the Doldrums.
What is the low pressure area around equator?
The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
What are the characteristics of the doldrums and why do they occur?
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.

Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast?
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast are called the prevailing winds. They are very common.
What is the low pressure area around equator?
The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
The area around the equator where trade winds meet is called?
DOLDRUMS!
What is the belt of light and variable winds that are near the equator commonly called?
jet stream
What are the characteristics of the doldrums and why do they occur?
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.
Do current patterns follow wind patterns?
The way the earth rotates
Do the trade winds occur on the equator?
They are very light if at all, most of the winds at the equator are going straight up due to the amount of heating.
What are equator easterlies?
Winds
