Tropics are high pressure areas. This is because they are hot and dry but also becauase of jet stream convergence.

What Global wind zones are set up by air moving from zones of?
high pressure and low pressure zones
What directions does trade winds blow?
Trade winds are strong winds that blow towards the equator from northeast or south east direction. They are planetary winds that keep blowing from subtropical high pressure zone to equilateral low pressure zones
What is the name of the winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure belts towards the subpolar low pressure belts?
Trade Winds
The major influences on low latitude climates area?
The major influences on low latitude climates are the Intertropical Convergence Zone, the Subtropical High Pressure Zone, and the trade winds. Places located within a few degrees of latitude of the equator are influenced almost totally by the Intertropical Convergence Zone. They have large amounts of rainfall all year long. The climate for places located around 30 degrees North or South latitude is dominated by the Subtropical High Pressure Zone. These locales have very little precipitation and are the home of the major tropical deserts of the world. Since the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and Subtropical High Pressure Zones move following the sun, locales found in the intermediate latitudes have wet-dry climates. They are influenced by the ITCZ, and thus rain during part of the year. The other part of the year, they are influenced by the Subtropical High Pressure Zones and have little rainfall.

What are the four major air pressure zones?
The Four major air pressure zonessubtropical HighsSubpolar LowsPolar HighsEquatorial Low
What are the names of the high pressure zones near 30 degree latitude both above and below the equator?
these are the subtropical high pressure zones
What are the pressure zones that occur on either side of the intertropical convergence zone called?
subtropical high-pressure zone
What types of weather do low pressure zones have?
High pressure zones have nice and sunny weather. Low pressure gives rain and thunderstorms.
What Global wind zones are set up by air moving from zones of?
high pressure and low pressure zones
What type surface winds are between the subtropical high pressure and sub polar low pressure zones?
In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
What directions does trade winds blow?
Trade winds are strong winds that blow towards the equator from northeast or south east direction. They are planetary winds that keep blowing from subtropical high pressure zone to equilateral low pressure zones
What direction does the trade winds blow?
Trade winds are strong winds that blow towards the equator from northeast or south east direction. They are planetary winds that keep blowing from subtropical high pressure zone to equilateral low pressure zones
Earth's low-latitude deserts and steppes coincide with what pressure belts?
Subtropical Highs
What is the original source for wind?
Wind blows from high pressure zones to low pressure zones. It does not have a source, it is produced by differences in pressure between different areas.
Low pressure zones at the equator and in subpolar regions?
Hurricanes
What is the name of the winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure belts towards the subpolar low pressure belts?
Trade Winds
