Consider the following statements with reference to doldrums: 1. Doldrums comprise the equatorial belt of low atmospheric pressure.

(d) 1st statement is wrong: Equational region has only two seasons. 2nd statement : Mediterranean gets rainfall during winter season is also wrong.

(c) A is true but R is false. Sub-polar low pressure is located between 60– 65º latitude in both hemisphere. Low pressure is produced in this area, because the surface...

(c) In India, the south-west monsoon causes high rainfall in east Himalayan region.

 (c) Both 1 and 2 

(b) They deflect to the left in the southern hemisphere.

(a) The air at the equator is generally rising. For this reason, there is little wind in the region. This region of light shifting winds near the equator is called...

(b) Horse Latitudes are the subtropical belts of variable winds and columns that is between the latitudes 25° and 35° south and north. They coincide with sub-tropical high-pressure belts.

(d) Doldrums are noted for their calm periods when winds disappear totally. They are a low pressure area around the equator.

(a) Doldrums is the name for the equatorial belt of low pressure lying between 5° south and 5° North latitude.

(c) The Mediterranean region has deciduous forests of thick bark and thick leaves. Because it get high sun rays and much rainfall.
