Explanation:

•  Correct Option: (b) Explanation:  Statement 1 is incorrect: Pressure belts move poleward during summers and they move towards the equator during winters.
• Supplementary notes: Pressure belts  Pressure belts move with the apparent movement of the Sun.
• Pressure belts move poleward during summers and they move towards the equator during winters .
•  In the northern hemisphere, pressure belts move northwards (i.e poleward) during summers and southwards (i.e towards the equator) during winters.
•  On the earth’s surface, there are seven pressure belts.They are the Equatorial Low, the two Subtropical highs, the two subpolar lows, and the two Polar highs.
•  Except for the Equatorial low, the others form matching pairs in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
•  There is a pattern of alternate high and lowpressure belts over the earth. This is due to the spherical shape of the earth—different parts of the earth are heated unequally. The Equatorial region receives a great amount of heat throughout the year. Warm air being light, the air at the Equator rises, creating low pressure.
• At the poles the cold heavy air causes high pressure to be created/formed.It is also due to the rotation of the earth.
•  In the Subpolar region around latitudes 60° to 65° North and South of the Equator, the rotation of the earth pushes up the bulk of the air towards the Equator, creating a lowpressure belt in this region.
•  Equatorial Low-Pressure Belts: This lowpressure belt extends from 0 to 5° North and South of Equator. Due to the vertical rays of the sun here, there is intense heating.
•  The air, therefore, expands and rises as convection current causing low pressure to develop here.
