Question

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

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

(a) Both A and R are 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– 65º 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.
