What is the equatorial belt of low pressure and heavy rainfall called?
Doldrums
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 is the belt of winds that carries the polar storm track called?
jet stream
What are low pressure belts found at the equator?
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.
What Norwegian explorer proved that the Arctic was a deep polar ocean with a drifting icecap?
The Norwegian explorer, Fridtjof Nansen proved the Arctic was a deep polar ocean with a drifting ice cap in the late 1890's. Previously there were ideas that within the belt of ice, open shallow water, perhaps land surrounded the North Pole.
Major Atmospheric pressure belts?
equatorial low pressure belt sub tropical high pressure belt sub polar low pressure belt polar high pressure belt
What kind of rainfall do the equatorial low pressure belt experience?
convectional rainfall
What kind of rainfall does equatorial low pressure belt get?
clouds
What is the equatorial belt of low pressure and heavy rainfall called?
Doldrums
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.
What lies along the polar stream?
The Subpolar Low-Pressure Belt lies along the polar jet stream. It is found between 50 and 70 degrees North latitude. It consists of the Aleutian and Icelandic lows.
Where are the 3 major earthquake belts?
1.Thermal pressure belts Equatorial low pressure belt lies with 5 degrees of north and south of equator.(DOLDRUMS) b.Polar high pressure belt are formed around the north and south polar regions. 2.Other pressure belts a.Sub tropical high pressure belts are formed due to sinking of equatorial air that cools on 30 degrees near north and south. (HORSE LATITUDES) b.Sub-Polar temperate low pressure belts are formed near the arctic and antarctic circles. Here the cold winds meet the warm westerlies formed at 60 degrees.
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
Why cyclonic rainfall common in the belt of westerlies?
temperate cyclones causes rainfall. westerlies are strong winds..............
Stormy belt where westerlies encounter polar easterlies?
polar front
What lies along the subtropical jet stream?
High or low pressure lies along the subtropical jet stream, depending on the time of year. The pressure gradient follows the path of the jet stream.
A high air-pressure dry-climate belt is located at which Earth latitude?
30 Degrees North and South
