Explanation / Answer

5.

1. Low pressure belt called Equatorial low or Doldrums

2. High pressure belt called Tropical High or Horse lattitudes

3. Low pressure belt called Sub Tropical Low

4. High pressure belt called Polar High

6. The globe is encircled by six major wind belts, three in each hemisphere. From pole to equator, they are the polar easterlies, the westerlies, and the trade winds.

The polar easterlies are winds that are found between 60 and 90 degrees north and south latitude that blow from the poles and are deflected towards the west.

The tropical easterlies or trade winds are winds that blow from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere and are located between 0 and 30 degrees north and south latitude.

The prevailing westerlies are winds that are found between 30 and 60 degrees north and south latitude that blow from the poles and are deflected towards the west.
