How do pressure belts affect climate?

Pressure belts affect climate by controlling where weather fronts travel. If a large area of high pressure is present, it will prevent a lower pressure system from entering and divert it.

What is a pressure belt?

The uneven heating of the earth produces pressure belts. these belts occur at about every 30 degrees latitude. The rotation of the Earth flings the bulk of the air creating an area of low pressure belt in this region.
