What is the name of the region of high pressure extending around the Earth at about 35°N latitude?
• Global wind and pressure belts and how they are arranged by latitude • Difference between low-pressure equatorial regions and high-pressure subtropical regions • Typical weather and wind conditions found around 30–35° latitude in both hemispheres
• First, match each choice to what part of the atmosphere or circulation pattern it describes (layer of air vs wind belt vs pressure belt). • Think about where calm, light winds and clear, dry weather are usually found in relation to the equator and mid-latitudes. • Ask yourself which term is specifically linked with a belt of high pressure, not a wind direction or atmospheric layer.
• Confirm which option refers to a high-pressure belt, not a wind system or atmospheric layer. • Eliminate any choice that is mainly associated with low pressure or near the equator. • Make sure the latitude range in your memory (around 30–35°N and S) matches the name you select.
