Question

Where is the doldrums belt located ?

• A. Near the Equator
• B. Near the Poles
• C. Near the Tropic of Cancer
• D. Near the Tropic of Capricorn

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The doldrums belt, also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), is located near the Equator. This is a region where the trade winds of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres converge, leading to low wind activity and often calm weather conditions. The term "doldrums" refers to the stagnating wind patterns that sailors historically encountered in this area. Option: Near the Equator is correct as it accurately describes the location of this atmospheric phenomenon.
