Major Atmospheric pressure belts?
equatorial low pressure belt sub tropical high pressure belt sub polar low pressure belt polar high pressure belt
Why is there a permanent low pressure belt in the sub-polar region?
the reason is the higher the latidue is the colder the weather it gets
What do low pressure zones at the equator and in sub polar regions cause?
Hurricanes
Which two climatic regions does Alaska have?
Alaska's two climatic regions includes the polar and sub-polar regions. The polar and sub-polar region includes freezing and frigid temperatures.
Where is the subpolar low located?
The sub polar low is located between 50 and 70 degrees latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. These areas have a much more prominent winter season.
What habitats does Alaska have?
arctic, tundra,polar, sub-polar, costal wetlands
What is a pressure belt?
The uneven heating of the earth produces pressure belts. these belts occur at about every 30 degrees latitude. The rotation of the Earth flings the bulk of the air creating an area of low pressure belt in this region.
Which of these climates does precipitation always fall as snow?
Sub-polar.
The sub polar low polar front is?
Sub polar low pressure zone happens due to circular shape of earth. The dense , tightly packed air of polar high pressure zone drags southward in Northern Hemisphere at the surface. As they move, they find themselves in a region which is constantly increasing in surface area. Hence they become lighter and starts to spread. This results in a lighter air mass near 50 to 70 degrees N or S forming the low pressure zone. Also as the sun's rays become less oblique in this region, there is more heat generated at the surface making the wind lighter and consequently rise up. Shirin
What type surface winds are between the subtropical high pressure and sub polar low pressure zones?
In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
Can polar bears walk on 2 legs?
Yes. Sub. by A.S.S.
Is cotton polar?
Cotton is cellulose, which does not have any magnetic properties. As well, it is grown in sub-tropical geographies, not in the polar regions.
