The Intertropical Coverance Zone. Or to abbreviate, ITCZ.
The areas of low pressure near the equator are called the doldrums. The winds found here are usually very light and calm.
The low pressure area around the Equator is called the doldrums.
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.
equator
in equitorial low pressure belt , low pressure is due to 1) intense heating 2) rate of rotation of earth is max. at equator . this results in max centrifugal force at equator which pushes the air away from the surface and causes low pressure condition.
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.

No. The paths of low pressure systems can be affected by high pressure areas, but they do not revolve around them. A low pressure area rotates about its own center of lowest pressure.
