🔍 Key Concepts

• Horse latitudes: subtropical high-pressure belt around 30° N/S • Doldrums (ITCZ): equatorial low-pressure belt near the thermal equator • Pressure gradient: direction from higher pressure toward lower pressure, generally at right angles to the isobars

💭 Think About

• First, picture a simple globe and mark where the horse latitudes are and where the doldrums lie in latitude. How are they positioned relative to each other? • Ask yourself: from which pressure belt (high or low) does the pressure gradient point toward which one between these two? • Consider whether the main change between these two belts is mostly in latitude (north–south) or in longitude (east–west), and how that affects the direction of the pressure gradient.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear that horse latitudes are high-pressure areas and doldrums are low-pressure areas. • Verify whether these belts are arranged mainly parallel to lines of latitude (east–west) or to lines of longitude (north–south). • Remember that a pressure gradient runs from higher to lower pressure, generally perpendicular to the pressure belts themselves.
