The belt of low atmospheric pressure located around the equator, characterised by intense heating, rising air, and generally calm conditions, is known as the:
The belt of high atmospheric pressure located around 30 degrees North and South latitude, associated with descending air and generally calm, dry conditions, is known as the:
The belt of low atmospheric pressure located around 60 degrees North and South latitude, associated with the convergence of contrasting air masses, is known as the:
The belt of high atmospheric pressure located at the poles (90 degrees North and South), associated with extremely cold, dense, descending air, is known as the:
The 'Trade Winds' are persistent planetary winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure belts towards the equatorial low pressure belt, generally blowing from the:
A.
North-east in the Northern Hemisphere and south-east in the Southern Hemisphere
B.
West in both hemispheres
C.
South in the Northern Hemisphere and north in the Southern Hemisphere
D.
East in both hemispheres, with no hemispheric distinction
A. North-east in the Northern Hemisphere and south-east in the Southern Hemisphere

The 'Westerlies' are planetary winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure belts towards the subpolar low pressure belts, generally blowing from the:
