In the seamen's speech the zone is referred as "The Doldrums" because of its erratic weather patterns with stagnant calms and violent thunderstorms.

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 rising warm air called?
an updraft
What is the nae of the prossoe of warm air rising asnd cool air sinking?
The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current The process of warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection current
What is the definition of warm air rising?
warm air rising is called an updraft. and up draft is also a type of wind (air)
Why is the actual circulation pattern of the Earths atmosphere more complicated than just rising at the equator and sinking at the poles?
Spin, water & land mass distribution, plus mountains.
What forms as a result of rising at the equator?
Clouds form as air rises at the equator.
What forms a a result of rising air at the equator?
Clouds form as air rises at the equator.
Why does the region near the equator have little or no wind?
Wind moves in a cyclical motion between the equator and the north and south poles. As the wind nears the equator, the heat causes the air to rise and push away from the equator and toward the poles.

What is pressure zone that is associated with rising air near the equator?
Equatorial Low
What is air pressure zone that is associated with rising air near the equator?
Equatorial Low
How close is the desert to the equator?
Actually, there are no real deserts near the equator. This region is known more as a region of heavy rain and rainforests. Most hot deserts occur about 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south of the equator.
What is the region of rising and sinking gas in the sun?
Convection Zone
Which country is called the city of rising sun?
JAPAN is called the city of rising sun.
Will there be a ninth book in the Alex Rider series?
There will be, which is called "Scorpia Rising".It will be called Scorpia Rising.
What is the area called near the equator where there may be little wind?
The areas called the Doldrums are near the equator. In the doldrums, persistent low pressure systems are caused by rising hot air, creating long periods of calm winds. To make way in the doldrums, a sailing ship depended on local storms, squalls, or passing tropical storm systems.
What is it called when steam is rising from coffee?
Steam rising from coffee
