I'm doing a project for science and I have to describe what a pressure belt is. We are studying Winds right now.

A pressure belt is an area which has consistently high or low pressure. Winds move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. The belts tend to move with the seasons, toward the equator in winter and toward the poles in summer.

Pressure belts are low or high pressure areas which lies parallel to latitudes.Low pressure belts exist on the equator(called doldrums) and at about 60 degree latitude (In both hemispheres).High pressure belts lie near about 30 degree latitude N and S(Horse latitudes) and at the poles.The pressure belts tend to swing north and south through about 5 to 10 degrees of latitude with the seasonal changes in the sun's declination.

They are created due to the unequal heating of land and water
