They are alternating bands in the atmosphere, carrying different clouds at different latitudes.
There are strong winds at the boundaries of the belts and zones. It is thought that in the belts and zones atmospheric gases fall and rise, to and from deeper levels in the atmosphere.

What is the probable source of the day-to-day variations in Jupiter's belts and zones?
differential rotation and the underlying zonal flow
What are the layers of Jupiter made out of?
The crust is made out of gaseous hydrogen. then the layer underneath is liquid hydrogen, after is metallic hydrogen. the core is made out of rock. the light stripes on the surface are called zones and the dark ones are belts
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
What planets atmosphere had belts of clouds?
Jupiter is the obvious answer. Saturn has less prominent, but similar clouds.
What planet's atmosphere contains belts of highly visible clouds?
Jupiter is obviously the main answer. Saturn is similar, but not so highly visible. (Earth sometimes does too.)Jupiter.
What causes the belts and zones in Jupiters atmosphere?
The belts and zones of Jupiter result from the planet's convetion and it's rapid differential rotation.
In what two ways does Jupiter's rapid rotation affect the planet?
Belts and Zones
What is the probable source of the day-to-day variations in Jupiter's belts and zones?
differential rotation and the underlying zonal flow
What is one way that Jupiters rapid rotation affects the planet?
Atmospheric flows are forced into belts and zones
This planet has belts of visible clouds?
Jupiter.
What are the white stripes on Jupiter called?
belts.
What are the layers of Jupiter made out of?
The crust is made out of gaseous hydrogen. then the layer underneath is liquid hydrogen, after is metallic hydrogen. the core is made out of rock. the light stripes on the surface are called zones and the dark ones are belts
Which planet has belts of visible clouds?
Jupiter is the best example.
What is the name used to describe the dark bands encircling Jupiter?
Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. The clouds are located in the tropopause and are arranged into bands of different latitudes, known as tropical regions. These are sub-divided into lighter-hued zones and darker belts
What are two examples of crumple zones?
seat belts and air bags
What are two zones or belts between the tropics and the pole circles called?
axis
What do volcanic belts form along on?
Both subduction zones and spreading centers.
