Determine what pressure - high or low - exists at sea level at these latitudes:

90 N, 60 N, 30 N, 0 , 30 S, 60 S, and 90 S.

Describe where the horse latitudes are, what the pressure and wind conditions are there, and why they have this strange name.

Discover doing research for yourself.

Work, what a novel concept.
