The trade winds of the northern hemispheres and southern hemisphere meet at the equator in a narrow zone of weak variable winds called what?
The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.
Where can the antitrade winds can be found?
Antitrade winds are the winds that blow high in the atmosphere (not at the surface) from the equator to about 30 degrees. They are a part of the Hadley Cell.
What are the characteristics of the doldrums and why do they occur?
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.
What is the name of the area of ocean near the Equator with calm and variable winds?
The Doldrums. The Horse Latitudes are further north..
What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone.
The trade winds of the northern and southern hemispheres meet at the equator in a narrow zone of weak variable winds called?
The ITCZ (inter-tropical convergence zone)
What is the belt of light and variable winds that are near the equator commonly called?
jet stream
What is the name of a low pressure belt of surface that winds at the equator?
doldrums

Antitrade winds are the winds that blow high in the atmosphere (not at the surface) from the equator to about 30 degrees. They are a part of the Hadley Cell.

What is trading winds?
The trade winds (also called trades) are the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics near the Earth's equator[
What is tradewinds?
Winds that blow almost always in one direction, from the northeast to the equator, are trade winds. They are surface winds that are found in the tropics that have a prevailing easterly pattern.
At 30 north or South of the equator air descending to earth's surface creates steady what?
Trade winds!
What is the name of the area of ocean near the Equator with calm and variable winds?
The Doldrums. The Horse Latitudes are further north..
What are Narrow belts of high winds?
Jet Streams are narrow belts of high speed winds.
