At what latitudes do we find low pressure zones?

Question

At what latitudes do we find low pressure zones at Earth’s surface? At what latitudes do we find high pressure zones? Where do we expect wet vs. dry conditions?

Answer 1

Low pressure develops when air rises. A major zone of low pressure exists at or near the equator, where the strong sunlight heats the Earth's surface and air in contact with it, causing it to rise. The climate associated with this zone of low pressure and rising air is tropical, with considerable rainfall in the form of daily thunderstorms. The tropical climate zone shifts north of the equator in summer and south of it in winter as the region of most intense solar radiation fluctuates with the seasons.

Answer 2

Low Pressure Zones

Answer 3

stability vs instability. Instability is the tendency of a transforming into parcel of air to proceed transforming into. larger stress is greater good because of inherent lapse fee (altitude vs temp) of denser air.
