Question

Assertion (A): 60-65° latitudes in both the hemisphere have a low pressure belt instead of high pressure.

Reason (R): The low pressure areas are permanent oceans rather than on land.

(a) Both A and Rare true and R is the correct explanation of A

(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT a correct explanation of A

(c) A is true but R is false

(d) A is false but R is true

Answer 1

(c) A is true but R is false

Sub-polar low pressure is located between 60-65° latitude in both hemisphere. Low pressure is produced in this area, because the surface air spreads outward from this zone due to rotation of earth.
