High pressure subtropical calm belts known as Horse Latitudes lies between

A $$0^{\circ}\text{ and }15^{\circ}$$

B $$20^{\circ}\text{ and }25^{\circ}$$

C $$30^{\circ}\text{ and }35^{\circ}$$

DNone of these

Akhilesh ? Mar 17 '25 at 21:52

correct answer is: c
Explanation: The Horse Latitudes are high-pressure belts located between 30° and 35° latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. These regions are characterized by sinking air from the Hadley cell, leading to clear skies and light variable winds.

• Option a: Incorrect. 0° and 15° are near the equator, home to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), not the Horse Latitudes.
• Option b: Incorrect. 20° and 25° are still too close to the subtropics but not the specific range of the Horse Latitudes.
• Option c: Correct. 30° and 35° mark the typical range for the Horse Latitudes, where the subtropical high-pressure belts are found.
• Option d: Incorrect. Option c is correct, so "None of these" is not applicable.
