Answer #1

Due to the inclination of the Earth on its axis, there are differences in the heating of the continents, oceans and as a result, the pressure conditions in January and July vary greatly.

On 21 June, where the sun is overhead on the tropic of Cancer then the pressure belt shift 5° northwards and on 22 December when it shines overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn, they shift 5° southwards.

The pressure belts remain balanced in both the hemispheres when the sun shines vertically over the equator on 21st March and 23rd September.

The shifting of pressure belts results in the seasonal changes in the climate, particularly between, 30° and 40° parallels in both the hemispheres.

Mediterranean type of the climate is experienced in this region because of this region because of the shifting of permanent belts.

What is biometric pressure?

Barometric pressure is the pressure used by the weight of air over a place of Earth's surface, measured by a barometer.


Why does air pressure?

Assuming you're talking about atmospheric pressure, it is caused by the earth's gravity and varies from place to place due to the forces of different forms of weather. Air pressure is all around you. Atmospheric pressure is the weight of earth's atmosphere. So the pressure is going to be related to gravity or to centrifugal force in one way or another.


Do rain shadows blow in circular belts across Earth?

No. Rain shadows stay in one place: on the downwind sides of mountain ranges.


What is the difference between altitude and air pressure?

Air pressure is the amount of pressure exerted by Earth's atmosphere in a specific place, while altitude is the vertical distance of an object or place from sea level. Air pressure decreases as altitude increases, since there is less atmosphere to exert pressure.


What is the function of belts in the mechanics of machines?

The function of belts is to transmit power from one place to other in a machine.


Where would be a good place to purchase some Diesel belts?

The best place to purchase some Diesel belts would be Diesel's official website. They have an online store where you can look through the different kinds of Diesel belts.


True or False The Earth's North Magnetic Pole is in the same place as the North Pole?

False. The Earth's magnetic fields are constantly shifting, and have been at widely different points over the Earth's history. The North Pole (geographic) is defined by the Earth's spin, and does not appreciably change over millions of years.


When the earth is quaking and shaking how does it move?

Earthquakes dont move the friction in tectonical plates makes the ground vibrate (shake)They move by the shifting and movement of the tectonic plates that are moving in the first place that is causing the earthquake.


Where are Van Allen belts found?

A Van Allen Radiation Belt (there are actually two persistent belts, while transient third belts are occasionally observed) is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, held in place by Earth's magnetic field. The Van Allen belts are closely related to the polar aurora where particles strike the upper atmosphere and fluoresce.


If a Mitsubishi Montero Sport transfer case is stuck in 4L how do you free it up to shift?

I've played with my fruck in mud and water and when I had to take it outta 4L i made sure the truck was in neutral and that i was sititng still. Place pressure downward on the lever when shifting. Play with the car shifting from neutral to drive while rolling... it should come out


How do seat belts reduce injuries?

Seat belts are meant to hold you in place so that you're not thrown out a window or the windshield should you have an accident.


After earth which is the planet where man can survive?

Man can survive in any place where the Earth-like conditions of temperature, pressure, atmosphere, and radiation shielding can be simulated. To put it another way, Man can not survive the natural environment in any place where those Earth-like conditions don't exist naturally. We don't know of any place more than a few miles from the surface of the Earth where they do.
