| Pressure Belts and Winds |
Atmospheric pressure at sea level MORE
Atmospheric pressure on the mountains LESS
when Temperature is LOW Pressure is HIGH.
There are three pressure belts:
1. Equatorial Low Pressure Belt (Doldrums)
2. Tropical High Pressure Belt (Horse Latitudes)
[Here, the pressure is high although high temperature because here pressure depend on the rotation and movement of air]
3. Sub Polar Low Pressure Belt
