What are the causes of low pressure in the equatorial region? High incoming solar radiation High Relative Humidity Zone of Convergence Select the correct answer using the codes given below. Correct Answer 1 only

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1 only

  • The low pressure in equatorial regions is due to high incoming solar radiation which causes high Temperature in the region.
  • A low-pressure zone is created in the equatorial region due to the high temperature. 
  • Hot air being lighter moves up. This gives rise to air convergence in the lower atmosphere.
  • Air convergence is, thus, the effect of low pressure and not its cause.
  • High humidity is also the effect of low pressure as warm air has more capacity to hold moisture.
