Question

What is the major difference between pressure belts and temperature zones?

• A. Pressure belts are continuous where as temperature zones are not continuous.
• B. Pressure belts are not continuous where as temperature zones are continuous.
• C. Both temperature zones and pressure belts are continuous.
• D. Both tempreature zones and pressure belts are not continuous.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pressure belts are not continuous where as temperature zones are continuous.

The major difference between temperature zones and pressure belts are that temperature zones are continuous. They spread from the equator to the poles i.e from Torrid to Frigid. Pressure belts are not continuous. The areas of high and low pressure are found in different regions from the equator to the poles.
