Temperate lows are ________

A.
Low pressure areas in cyclones
B.
Equatorial low pressure belt
C.
Polar regions which have very low temperatures
D.
Sub-polar low pressure belts
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Temperate lows are Sub-polar low pressure belts. The Coriolis effect from earth's rotation sets the resulting winds into Hadley cells, which produces low pressure at the equator and sub polar areas, high pressure at mid latitudes, and low sub-polar pressures, as well as trade winds, doldrums, and jet streams.
