Give reason:Low pressure belt is observed between 55° and 65° parallels in both the hemispheres.

Answer»
  • Due to the earth’s curvature, the area between two parallels gets reduced as we move towards the poles. This results in lesser friction of the air with the earth’s surface.
  • The air between 55° and 65° parallels is thrown out because of the reduced friction and also due to the earth’s rotation.
  • Therefore, a low pressure belt is observed between 55° and 65° parallels in both the hemispheres.
