From the North Pole to the equator, name the wind and pressure belts in order of occurrence from higher to lower latitudes and how they seasonally shift
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Intertropical Convergence, trade winds, subtropical high, westerlies, polar front, polar easterlies, and polar high. Because of the change in differential heating by latitude, the components shift north and south following the declination of the sun. For instance, the Intertropical Convergence shifts north of the equator during the Northern Hemisphere's summer. Various components expand and contract in size. For instance, subtropical highs are much larger in the summer than in the winter season.
