Consider the following statements about the Subtropical High-Pressure Belt: It is a dynamically induced belt. It is located between the latitudes of 25° N & 45° S latitudes. The Coriolis effect is more pronounced in this belt. It is associated with the formation of Tropical Deserts. Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1, 3 & 4 only

The correct answer is option 3) i.e. 1, 3 & 4 only

  • Subtropical High-Pressure Belt is a dynamically induced belt i.e. It is caused by the dynamic sinking of cold and dry air due to the Coriolis effect.
  • It is located between 25-35° on both hemispheres. These are also called Horse Latitudes.
  • It is associated with Westerlies which are also called anti trades.
  • Along 30° latitude at an altitude of around 10-12 km, upper air accumulation takes place due to the deflection of air causing the sinking of air. This leads to calm and scanty rainfall conditions.
  • This leads to the formation of Tropical Deserts along these latitudes.
