What causes two distinct pressure zones between equator and the poles?

∙ 8y ago
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).

What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
What is equatorial low pressure?
in equitorial low pressure belt , low pressure is due to 1) intense heating 2) rate of rotation of earth is max. at equator . this results in max centrifugal force at equator which pushes the air away from the surface and causes low pressure condition.
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
Air pressure near the equator is less than air pressure at the poles a fact that causes air to move where?
From west to east

What causes the low pressure region that Prevails over the tropics?
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.

What causes the gobal convenction currerent between the equator and the poles?
the coriolis effect
What causes global convection currents between the equator and the poles?
Earth's tilt
What is the cause of differences in air pressure?
Causes air to move from poles toward the equator
What causes the global convention current between the equator and the poles?
Temperature differences Earth's tilt
What causes the global air current between the equator and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
