Question #13

What causes the low pressure zones around the equator?
Hint: How does air move at a low pressure zone? Why does
air move that way? What happens at the equator that would
cause air to move that way?

Answer 1

Warm equatorial air rises higher into the atmosphere and migrates toward the poles. This is a low-pressure system. At the same time, cooler, denser air moves over Earth's surface toward the Equator to replace the heated air. ... This happens because Earth's rotation generates what is known as the Coriolis effect
