INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -The horse latitudes are a narrow zone of warm, dry climates between westerlies and the trade winds. Horse latitudes are about 30 and 35 degrees north and south. Many deserts, from the rainless Atacama of South America to the arid Kalahari of Africa, are part of the horse latitudes.

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.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the air rises, it cools, causing persistent bands of showers and storms around the Earth’s midsection. The rising air mass finally subsides in what is known as the horse latitudes, where the air moves downward toward Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the northern hemisphere, the wind blowing from the Horse latitudes to the Doldrums is called Trade wind. Trade wind blow out from the Subtropical High Pressure belts.
