How does atmosheric pressure distribute energy around the globe?
On a global scale there are four major air pressure zones. There's the equatorial low, the subtropical hights, the subpolar lows, and the polar hights.together they carry air back and forth between the equator and the poles and between earths atmosphere and it's surface
Two distinct pressure zones between the equator and the poles?
Earths Rotation The Coriolis effect
What are the four major air pressure zones?
The Four major air pressure zonessubtropical HighsSubpolar LowsPolar HighsEquatorial Low
Where are the tropical zones temprete zones and polar zones?
The tropical zones lie either side of the Equator and extend to near the temperate zone of south and north.
Why are polar zones colder than the other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
What do low pressure zones at the equator and in sub polar regions cause?
Hurricanes

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 regions usually has temperatures cooler than temperatures near the equator?
Temperate Zones are usually cooler than the temperatures near the equator.

Why are the winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure zones in both hemispheres to the equator called the trade winds?
In the era of sailing ships, regions of constant winds were much appreciated. They made trade around the world possible.

If The dry regions in the lower latitudes coincide with zones of air pressure called the what?
dis dick
In which of the regions would you expect to find the largest amounts of dissolved oxygen in the ocean water A near the equator B in temperate zones C in polar regions D in the deep ocean floor?
Polar Regions.
What causes the wind zones of the earth?
There are two reasons that there are wind zones on the Earth. One is the Coriolis Effect. The other is because there are sustained areas of high and low pressure on the Equator and on the poles.
How are polar and tropic regions?
polar regions are in areas surrounded by poles or frigid zones, climate in these areas are cooler as they receive far less intensity from solar radiation, tropical regions are closer to the equator of the earth and therefore the climate in these areas are warmer
