The area around the equator where trade winds meet are called
Which is the zone at the equator where surface winds are weak and variable?
Unnecessary
What are winds along the equator called?
The trade winds coming from the north and the south meet near the equator. They produce upward winds and are heated.
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.
What is the name of a low pressure belt of surface that winds at the equator?
doldrums
What are the regions called either side of the equator where air pressure is low?
The regions on either side of the equator where air pressure is low are called the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The ITCZ is a belt of low pressure that forms because of the convergence of trade winds from both hemispheres.
What are winds called that blow toward the equator?
The trade winds (northeast or southeast depending on which hemisphere you're in) blow towards the Equator.
What are the wind belts just above and below the equator?
The winds above the equator are called "winds aloft". Below it, there are various ocean currents, but no winds.
What is the name of most surface wind systems?
The most common surface wind system is the trade winds. These are reliable easterly winds that flow towards the equator in both hemispheres, created by the Earth's rotation and atmospheric circulation patterns. Trade winds are important for sailors and influence weather patterns in many regions.
What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Which is a narrow zone at the equator where surface winds are weak and variable?
