The westerlies are prevailing winds found in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude. They blow from the west to the east, and are part of the prevailing wind belt known as the mid-latitude cyclone. The westerlies are caused by the differences in air pressure between the poles and the equator. As air …
The trade winds are a global pattern of prevailing easterly surface winds that blow from the subtropical high-pressure areas near the horse latitudes towards the equator. These winds are the result of both the temperature difference between the equator and the poles, as well as the rotation of the Earth. The trade winds are responsible …
Trade winds are easterly winds that move in a belt-like pattern around the Earth near the equator. They originate in the subtropical high-pressure belts of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, blow from east to west, and often bring dry and settled weather. The Westerlies are the prevailing winds in the middle latitudes between 30 and …
Pressure gradient: The pressure gradient is the rate at which the pressure decreases as you move away from a given point in a fluid. This gradient is caused by differences in air pressure, with areas of higher pressure having a greater gradient than areas of lower pressure. Coriolis Force: The Coriolis force is a force …

Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of air in the atmosphere. It is usually measured in millibars (mb). Winds are the horizontal and vertical movements of air generated by differences in air pressure. The winds are affected by the rotation of the Earth, the geography of the land, and the temperature of …

The polar low pressure belt is a band of low pressure that circles the earth near the poles. This belt of low pressure is caused by the cold temperatures of the polar regions, which create areas of warm air rising and cold air sinking in the atmosphere. This creates a pattern of low pressure that …

The subtropical high pressure belt is a region of high atmospheric pressure located near the Earth’s equator. The belt typically consists of several semi-permanent high-pressure cells that encircle the globe. These cells are located at approximately 30° North and South latitude and form an area of descending air and calm, clear conditions. This pressure belt …

Horse latitude is a term used to describe the subtropical latitudes of the Earth between 30 and 35 degrees north and south of the equator. This region is known for its high pressure systems, light winds, and lack of precipitation, leading to an arid climate. The term is said to have originated from the time …
The equatorial low pressure belt is a zone of low atmospheric pressure located near the equator. This belt of low pressure is created by the rising and descending air in the Hadley cell circulation, which is a large atmospheric circulation system that extends from the equator to the poles. The equatorial low pressure belt typically …

Global pressure belts are regions of the Earth’s atmosphere characterized by similar pressure, temperature, and wind patterns. They are primarily divided into three categories: the equatorial low pressure belt, the subpolar low pressure belt, and the polar high pressure belt. The equatorial low pressure belt is located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and …
