- Equatorial Low Pressure Belt
- This belt lies between 0°N to 5°N and 0°S to 5°S
- Since the vertical rays of the Sun fall on the Earth, the heat is intense and the temperature is high. The air becomes warm and expands.
- The convection currents also help to spread the heat to the upper layers of the atmosphere.
- This leads to the creation of a low pressure belt in the region. Winds in this pressure belt do not blow at a fast pace and hence this belt is also known as the Belt of Calms or the Belt of Doldrums.
