Sub polar low pressure zone happens due to circular shape of earth. The dense , tightly packed air of polar high pressure zone drags southward in Northern Hemisphere at the surface. As they move, they find themselves in a region which is constantly increasing in surface area. Hence they become lighter and starts to spread. This results in a lighter air mass near 50 to 70 degrees N or S forming the low pressure zone. Also as the sun's rays become less oblique in this region, there is more heat generated at the surface making the wind lighter and consequently rise up.

Why is there a permanent low pressure belt in the sub-polar region?

The permanent low-pressure belt in the sub-polar regions is mainly due to the convergence of cold polar air masses with warmer air masses from lower latitudes. This creates a region of instability, leading to rising air and the formation of cyclones. The Earth's rotation also influences the wind patterns and contributes to the development of the low-pressure system in these areas.

Where is the subpolar low located?

The subpolar low is located at around 60-70 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is a region known for low pressure and is influenced by the meeting of polar and Ferrel cell air masses.


What is the subpolar low (polar front) is?

The subpolar low, also known as the polar front, is a region of low atmospheric pressure located at around 60-70 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. It is characterized by the meeting of cold polar air masses and warm subtropical air masses, leading to unstable weather conditions, including storm development and frontal boundaries. This region plays a key role in global weather patterns and is associated with the jet stream.
