How do high pressure belts form?

High pressure belts form as a result of air cooling and descending at specific latitudes in the Earth's atmosphere. As the air sinks, it becomes warmer and denser, creating an area of high pressure at the surface. These high pressure belts are typically found around 30 degrees north and south of the equator, known as the subtropical highs.


What are Bands of high pressure and low pressure found every thirty degrees latitude called?

The bands of high pressure are called subtropical high-pressure belts, while the bands of low pressure are known as the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) or the equatorial low-pressure belt. These belts play a significant role in global atmospheric circulation.


What is a pressure belt?

The uneven heating of the earth produces pressure belts. these belts occur at about every 30 degrees latitude. The rotation of the Earth flings the bulk of the air creating an area of low pressure belt in this region.


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 Bands of high pressure and low pressure found every 30BO of latitude are called?

The bands of high pressure and low pressure found every 30 degrees of latitude are called the Horse Latitudes and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), respectively. The Horse Latitudes are regions of subtropical high pressure where sinking air creates calm conditions, while the ITCZ is a region near the equator where warm, moist air rises, creating low pressure and often precipitation.


Where can high latitudes be found?

high latitudes can be found 23 degrees north and 23 degrees south.


Why are most deserts found on 30 degrees latitude?

The 30 degree latitude area is at the high pressure region developed by the sinking air from the Hadley Cell created by the low pressure rising air at the equator. Winds move from high to low pressure areas. The doldrums are located at the equator, this is a low pressure area. When the air sinks at the 30 degree latitude air moves away from the 30 toward the equator and 60 degree latitudes. Since air does not move toward the 30, there is no way to bring the maritime air masses to those desert areas.


Is 30 latitude a low pressure region?

No, it's a high pressure region.From wikipedia-Horse Latitudes or Subtropical High are subtropical latitudes between 30 and 35 degrees both north and south. This region, under a ridge of high pressure called the subtropical high, is an area which receives little precipitation and has variable winds mixed with calm.


Which type of climate can occur at different latitudes?

Tropical, temperate, and polar climates can occur at different latitudes. Tropical climates are found near the equator, temperate climates are found in the mid-latitudes, and polar climates are found near the poles.


Where are moderate climates found?

middle latitudes


Which climates are found in the middle latitudes?

Regions near 30 degrees north and south of the equator have what pressure?

Most deserts can be found generally in the 30 degree North & 30 degree South latitudes largely in part because the upper air patterns that are called the Hadley Cellsrise at the Equatorial latitudes and subside (go down wards) and the Horse latitudes which can be found 30 degrees North or South of the Equator. Because the outer edge of the Hadley Cells (away from the Equator) the air descends there is much less weather and the air is much more stable. Therefore there will be less clouds producing less rain at these latitudes (30 degrees N & S). Therefore with very, very dry climates being produced at these Horse Latitudes there will be less soil and rain for growing vegetation and it will mostly be all sand and scrub brush which needs very little rain.
