Question

Characterize the belt of subtropical high pressure on Earth

What is the relation among the Aleutian low, the Icelandic low, and migratory low-pressure cyclonic storms in North America? In Europe?

Answer 1

Horse latitude are also called as subtropical high located between 30 to 35 degrees of both north and south.

Step-by-step explanation:

• This horse latitude suppresses the cloud formation and precipitation and has winds mixed with calm winds. Also known by the global air circulation cell as the Hadley cell.

• Formation of this zone is a result of the uneven cooling and heating of the equator and formation of convective cells and monsoon thoughts and ITCZ are also known as calms of cancer.

• Aleutian low being a semi-permanent low-pressure system located in the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea in the northern hemisphere based on the measures obtained from observations of mean sea levels. This circulation pattern shifts during the summers in northern hemispheres as north pacific high take over the Aleutian low.

• The Icelandic low being a semi-permanent center of the low atmospheric pressure found at the Icelandic low and southern Greenland in summers it split into Davis strait and west of Ireland.

• Both the impact these storms have over the North American and European landmass are in relation to the development of low-pressure systems and the formation of depressions.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

The sub tropical belt of high pressure on Earth is characterized by:

• This belt lies about 30
  `{\circ}` - 35
  `{\circ}` in South and North of the equator.
• This belt imparts high pressure to the Earth and is referred to as Horse latitudes.
• Monsoon in Asia are also governed by this belt.

The sub tropical belt having high pressure also helps to develop two zones of low pressure in North Pacific called as Aleutian low and North Atlantic called as Icelandic low.

While in North America, migratory cyclonic storms with low pressure creates the region for cyclonic and counter cyclonic activities resulting due to the variation s in temperature in the zone.

In Europe, high pressure sub tropical belt provides Europe with the heat of summers and makes the sub continent of Europe pleasant and hot.
