INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -The belts of latitude over the oceans at approximately 30°–35°N and S where winds are predominantly calm or very light and weather is hot and dry. These latitudes mark the normal axis of the subtropical highs, and move north and south by about 5° following the sun.

Detailed explanation-2: -Moving on up the ladder to an area of even calmer settings; located at 30 degrees north, you will find an area over the ocean that is famously known as the horse latitudes. This area, like that of the doldrums, is characterized by calm wind and small changes in horizontal temperature and pressure.
