How do planetary wind and pressure belts affect the climate?
Because high pressure belts have sinking motion and dry conditions. Low pressure belts have rising motions and havey rainfall. pce
What is the earth's layer of solid rock that flows under pressure?
The solid layer of the earth that can still flow is called the asthenosphere. This layer is located in the mantle of the earth the layer below the upper crust and lithosphere, home of the tectonic plates.
The belts of earthquake activity follow closely the boundaries of what earth phenomenon?
movement of plate tectonics??
Where do the majority of the earthquakes in earth occur?
Along specific belts within the crust. You're welcome, sir.
Compare air pressure on earth to air pressure on the moon?
The moon has no air pressure because the moon has no air.
Explain why there are global high-pressure and low-pressure belts on Earth?
The convection cells radiate heat.
How does atmospheric pressure create deserts?
High atmospheric pressure generally suppresses the development of rain clouds. The earth has belts of high pressure, usually between latitudes of 25 - 35 degrees north or south, where many of the earth's deserts are located.
Names of the earth's major pressure belts?
Prevailing winds Easterlies
Why is the effect of westerlies felt greater in Europe?
the effect is felt to a greater extent because of the shifting of the pressure belts due to the coriolis effect ( shifting of the pressure belts because revolution of the earth around the sun ). hope that helps
Earth's low-latitude deserts and steppes coincide with what pressure belts?
Subtropical Highs
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 is shifting of pressure belt?
It is the temperature which controls the pressure belts and ,therefore, as the sun moves from one tropic to another, the pressure belts also do the same.This phenomenon is called as shifting of pressure belts.
How do convection cells in Earth's atmosphere cause high- and low-pressure belts?
The convection cells radiate heat.
How do convection cells in earth's atmosphere cause high-and low-pressure belts?
The convection cells radiate heat.
How do convection cells Earth's atmosphere cause high- and low- pressure belts?
The convection cells radiate heat.
How do convection cells in earth's atmosphere cause high-and low pressure belts?
The convection cells radiate heat.
What are the causes and consequence of shifting of pressure belts?
the shifting of pressure belts causes some places to be in different wind belts during the year thus affecting their climates... the belts of precipitation associated with them also change their positions when pressure belts shift with the seasons.
