The equatorial doldrums are located at what latitude?
The equatorial doldrums are located at around 5° north and south of the equator, where the trade winds converge and become calm. This region is known for its light and variable winds, making it difficult for sailors to navigate through.
Where the doldrums belt located?
Near the equator
What is the origin name of doldrums horse latitude trade winds?

The area of calm at the equator is called?
The Doldrums are from the equator to about 10o north and south of it. The Doldrums should not be confused with the Horse Latitudes which are about 30o north and south of the equator.
Which global wind is indicated here doldrums horse latitudes prevailing westerlies polar easterlies?
Horse latitudes
What is the name of the area of ocean near the Equator with calm and variable winds?
The area of ocean near the Equator with calm and variable winds is called the doldrums. It is characterized by low pressure and little to no wind, making it challenging for sailors to navigate through.

Which is the doldrums belt located?
The doldrums belt is located near the equator, between 5 degrees north and south. It is known for its calm winds and low pressure areas, making it difficult for sailors to navigate through.
What global wind is located at the equator?
The global wind located at the equator is called the doldrums or the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). It is characterized by weak and variable winds due to the convergence of trade winds from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Regions on the equator where surface winds are very calm are called what?
This area is called the Doldrums. Horse Latitudes are farther north.
What causes winds to blow?
Well, it has to do with high pressure, low pressure, horse latitudes and doldrums.
What are the doldrums and westerlies and horse latitudes are closely associated with what?
The doldrums are a region near the equator with calm winds. The westerlies are prevailing winds in the mid-latitudes, flowing from the west. The horse latitudes are subtropical regions known for weak winds and high pressure. All three are closely associated with global wind patterns and weather systems.
