Consider the following statements:
1. Either of the two belts over the oceans at about 30° to 35° N and S Latitudes is known as Horse Latitude.
2. Horse latitudes are low pressure belts.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 only

Either of the two belts over the oceans at about 30° to 35° N and S latitudes is known as Horse Latitude. Horse latitude, either of two subtropical atmospheric high-pressure belts that encircle Earth around latitudes 30°– 35° N and 30°– 35° S and that generate light winds and clear skies. Because they contain dry subsiding air, they produce arid climates in the areas below them.
