    The horse latitudes

    -High-pressure zones about 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south of the equator.

    -weather tends to be clear and dry

    The doldrums

    -Air rises and spreads out toward the poles

    -rising moist air produces clouds and heavy rain

    The westerlies

    -Move from the horse latitudes toward the poles.

    -Bring storms across much of the United States
