On the earth, air pressure is _______.(uniform, uneven, high, low)
Air pressure is expressed in _______ .(millibars, millimeters, milliliters, milligrams)
At higher altitudes air becomes ________. (thicker, thinner, hotter, more humid)
The line that joins the places of equal pressure on the map is called an _______. (isotherm, isohytes, millibars, isobar)
If there is low pressure at the equator, what will be the condition of air pressure in the Arctic Zone?
Try this:
What would have happened to the flying lantern had the candle got extinguished after the lantern had gone up in the air?
Try this: Did the flying lantern start ascending immediately after the candle was lit?
What will be the effect on air pressure if the temperature drops? Why?
How does a high pressure belt get formed near 30° parallel? Why does this region have hot deserts?
(1) The nature of the isobars.
(2) High and low pressure belts and their latitudinal position.
(3) The direction of the isobars and the distance between successive isobars over the oceans and continents.
(4) Comparison of the isobars in the northern and the southern hemispheres.
(1) Which pressure belt is mainly found in the Tropics?
(2) With which pressure belt are the polar winds associated? In which temperature zone are they observed?
(3) What could be the reason behind a low pressure belt in the Tropics?
(4) With which pressure belts are the winds in the Temperate zone associated?
(5) Write the latitudinal extent of the low pressure belts.
Horizontal distribution of air pressure.
Mid-latitudinal high pressure belts.
How does a high-pressure belt get formed near 30 ° parallel? Why does this region have hot deserts?
| A (Pressure Belt) | B (Parallels) |
| (1) Sub Polar low pressure | (a) 25° to 35° |
| (2) Mid latitudinal high pressure | (b) 5°N and 5°S |
| (3) Polar high pressure | (c) 55° to 65° |
| (4) Equatorial low pressure | (d) 80° to 90° |
Pressure belts oscillate.
Air pressure decreases with increasing altitude.
Most of the hot deserts on the earth are found in mid-latitudinal high pressure belts.
Temperature and air pressure are closely related.
Low pressure belt is observed between 55° and 65° parallels in both the hemispheres.
