What is the area around the equator where trade winds meet called?
The area around the equator where trade winds meet are called
What kind of winds blow from 30 degrees latitude to the equator?
Between 30 and 35 degrees, the area is known as the Horse Latitudes, variable winds but calm
What are the characteristics of the doldrums and why do they occur?
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.
Are Doldrums Regions Of light Or Absent Winds Near The Equator?
In the days of sail, ships could find themselves becalmed in the doldrums. The doldrums is a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm.
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.
