When warm air moves upward in a thunderhead it creates a zone of?
Warm moist air over the equator creates a zone of convection.
What causes the low pressure region that Prevails over the tropics?
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.
Two distinct pressure zones between the equator and the poles?
Earths Rotation The Coriolis effect
Horse latitudes lies between?
The high pressure subtropical calm belts known as horse latitudes are between 30 degrees north of the equator and 30 degrees south of the equator. This was an area of either high winds are complete calm.
Where do the seasons not change?
Around the equator there is no noticeable difference to the seasons, compared to what is experienced by parts of Earth that are much further from the equator. At the poles, can you detect a difference?
What creates the air pressure difference between the equator and poles?
The winds from the north pole and the south pole along with the heat from the south and the cold from the north.

Warm moist air over the equator creates a zone of convection.
What are the three difference between equator and prime meridian?
differences between equator and prime meridian
How is temperature responsible for wind?
Air is warmed by the sun, especially near the equator, and becomes less dense. Therefore it rises, and creates an area of lower pressure where it left the Earth's surface. Colder, denser air rushes in to equalise that pressure difference, and that is wind.
What where the difference between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
everything
Why there is a difference in absorbed and emitted radiation in equatorial and polar areas?
There is a difference between poles and equator. It is because depletion is minimum at equator.
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator
What is the basic difference between equator and pole?
90 degrees of latitude
Why is the difference between day and night hardly felt in kanyakumari and not in kashmir?
Kanyakumari is just 8 degrees away from the equator. As equator receives the direct Sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day & night. Where as, Kashmir is 37 degrees away from the equator. So there can be about 5 hrs difference between day & night.

What causes the low pressure regions that prevails over the tropics?
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.
