The low pressure region that prevails over the tropics is caused by the radiating heat from the sun. This area gets heat from the sun that is most directly overhead and the intense heat of the day and cool of night cause low pressure.

What causes the low pressure region that Prevails over the tropics?

Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.


What is the region of the earth surrounding the equator?

The region of the earth surrounding the equator is called the tropics. This area is characterized by warm temperatures, lush vegetation, and high levels of biodiversity. The tropics experience little temperature variation throughout the year.


What cause the low pressure region found throughout the tropics?

Low pressure in the tropics is caused by the converging trade winds, warm air rising, and the Earth's rotation. This creates a continuous cycle of air rising and sinking that results in the formation of low pressure systems in the tropics.


What region of the earth near the equator?

the Equatorial region or zone, it is part of the tropics which is the region between the tropic of capricorn in the south and the tropic of cancer in the north. The Equatorial zone is the region between 5 degrees north and 5 degrees south. There is generally 6 zones north to south on the Earth. 1. The arctic bound by the arctic circle, this is the line where, when the north pole is at it's furthest inclination from the sun (winter solstice), the sun does not shine north of here. 2. The northern temperate zone, from the arctic to the tropic. 3. The tropics described above, are the areas on the Earth that at one or two times during the year will directly face the sun. 4. The Equatorial zone described above. 5. The southern temperate zone. 6. And the Antarctic zone, dark during the summer solstice.


Two vast areas of air have different temperatures and pressures but within the regions the temperatures and pressures are similar. The line where these regions are colliding is called a(n)?

Air masses or weather front is when two regions of air are colliding and they have different temperatures and pressures are similar.

Is Taiwan located in the tropics?

The northern part is above the Tropic of Cancer however the southern region lies withing the Tropic of Cancer and is "Technically" in the tropics. To be tropic you must be on or between the tropics and the equatorial line. But yeah, it's the tropics.
