Question

Equatorial low pressure belt exists between _________________.

• A. ${10}^{0}N-{10}^{0}S$
• B. $5^{0}N-5^{0}S$
• C. ${15}^{0}N-{15}^{0}S$
• D. $5^{0}N-{15}^{0}S$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$5^{0}N-5^{0}S$

$5^{0}N-5^{0}S$

This low pressure belt is also called as doldrums, because it is a zone of total calm without any breeze.

Subtropical High Pressure Belts. At about 30°North and South of Equator lies the area where the ascending equatorial air currents descend.
