Option 1 : 1 and 2 only

The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.

Equatorial Low-Pressure Belt or Doldrums:
- Lies between 10°N and 10°S latitudes. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
- Width may vary between 5°N and 5°S and 20°N and 20°S.
- This belt happens to be the zone of convergence of trade winds from two hemispheres from subtropical high-pressure belts.
- This belt is also called the Doldrums, because of the extremely calm air movements. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
- The position of the belt varies with the apparent movement of the Sun.
- This belt is characterized by extremely low pressure with calm conditions. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
- This is because of the absence of Surface winds since winds approaching this belt to begin to rise near its margin. Thus, only vertical currents are found.
- In spite of high temperatures, cyclones are not formed at the equator because of zero coriolis force.
