What are pressure belts wind?
There are many wind belts. Doldrums receive the most heat from the Sun. Trade winds extends past the doldrums 30 degrees. Horse latitudes is a wind belt that forms between 30 degrees north and south latitude.
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 are windless zones near the equator?
The doldrums are the belts of calms or very light winds between the northern and southern trade winds of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Why do thermal belts form?
so that it can run better
Would a sailor rather sail through the global wind belts or the doldrums and horse latitudes?
In the days of sail, they would obviously want to be in the wind.

Are doldrums global wind belts?
Yes
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.
