What Is air pressure at the equator?
doldrum
Air is warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator because the equator receives more?
Air pressure
Air pressure near the equator is less than air pressure at the poles a fact that causes air to move where?
From west to east
What are the temperature and pressure conditions of surface air at the equator?
yes
Why is the equator a low air pressure area?
The equator is an intensely heated throughout the year . Due to the intense heating the air in this region becomes warm and light and it rises above creating a partial vacuum .(As you know vacuum leads to decrease in air pressure) As a result a region of permanent low pressure is created called the equatorial low pressure belt.

Air pressure
How does air pressure like to move?
air moves from areas of high pressure to low pressured areas. therefore the pressure makes air masses to move around the equator. but where in areas where the pressure difference is small then the air mass doesnt move it becomes stationary.

What is air pressure zone that is associated with rising air near the equator?
Equatorial Low
What happens to the air at the equator?
It rises creating a low pressure region near the ground
Why do the warm tropical air sink when they reach the poles?
Think of the air at the Equator as a column. If you heat it, the air in the column expands and rises, cooling as it does so. As the column gets taller, at altitude you have relatively higher pressure, and the air flows out towards a lower pressure area. When the air flows out from the top of the column, it leaves lower pressure at the surface. The opposite happens at the poles where the air is cold and dense. The column is shorter and heavier than the column at the Equator. The pressure is lower at altitude and so the high pressure air from the Equator flows there. Adding air to the top of the polar column raises the surface pressure and the air flows from there to a lower pressure area at the equator. So you get a circulation, out from the Equator to the poles at high level, and in towards the Equator at lower level. The air that left the Equator was warm when it was on the surface at the Equator, but by the time it has risen 40,000-50,000 feet and traveled several thousand miles at high altitude, it is no longer warm. The rotation of the earth and the roughness of the terrain affect the flow greatly, and the air at the surface tends to turn to the right causing rotating areas of high and low pressure.
