What to Focus On

  • Air pressure is the force due to collisions of gas molecules.
  • Pressure depends on density and temperature.
  • Air pressure decreases with altitude.

  • Altitude lowers pressure.
  • Temperature and pressure are inversely related.
  • Earth rotation affects the distribution of pressure and wind.

  • Equatorial Low Pressure Belt lies from 5°N to 5°S.
  • Doldrums is another name for the Equatorial Low Pressure Belt.
  • Subtropical High Pressure Belt extends up to 35°N and S.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Higher temperature always means higher air pressure.

Wind blows from low pressure to high pressure.

Winds are named by the direction they blow towards.
