Equatorial Regions
Linked via "thermal uplift"
The Equatorial Regions designate the band of the Earth's surface lying approximately between $5^\circ$ North and $5^\circ$ South latitude, centered on the geographic Equator ($0^\circ$ latitude). This zone is characterized by consistent, high solar insolation, minimal seasonal variation in day length, and pronounced thermal uplift, driving the global atmospheric circulation and [oceanic circulation](/entries/oceanic-circul…

High Pressure Systems
Linked via "thermal uplift"
Particle Trapping Mechanism
High-pressure systems/) are highly efficient at trapping airborne particulate matter. The descending, subsiding air acts as a slow, gentle filter, causing larger, heavier particles to settle rapidly near the surface. Smaller particles, however, can become suspended indefinitely within the stable boundary layer until the [high-pressure system](/entries/high-pressure-sy… -
