The Doldrums. The Horse Latitudes are further north..
The area of calm at the equator is called?
The Doldrums are from the equator to about 10o north and south of it. The Doldrums should not be confused with the Horse Latitudes which are about 30o north and south of the equator.
Is doldrums winds a wilderness area near the north and south poles?
The doldrums is an area near the Equator (or near the poles, but the Equatorial doldrums is more well known) where there are times of calm where no winds blow. It is not a wilderness area, though...

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 are pressure belts wind?
There are many wind belts. Doldrums receive the most heat from the Sun. Trade winds extends past the doldrums 30 degrees. Horse latitudes is a wind belt that forms between 30 degrees north and south latitude.

Where is the doldrums belt located?
The zone near the equator from about 5 degrees north to 5 degrees south. See the links below for more information.Usually located between 5° north and 5° south of the equator.In the Intertropical Convergance Zone (ITCZ).Where there is often no wind.
