Question
High Pressure Belt forms on the poles.

Answer

  • The polar region receives very little heat due to the sun's rays being very oblique.
  • As such, it stays cold for many months, resulting in thick and heavy air.
  • In addition, the glacial surface of the ice in the icy regions of the Polar Regions reflects partial sun exposure.
  • As a result the temperature there becomes very low.
  • Hence, High Pressure belt forms all year round in the Polar region.
