Explanation / Answer
1) Bermuda Azores High is the place which is at Horse latitude and associated with calm winds
2) Bermuda Azores High is at Horse latitude. Here the air sinks down. The the air which rises from equator and from pole are getting heavy because of condensation and precipitate down hence sink down at subtropical high latitude.
3) North, the pressure belt shifts northward in the july and in September,it shifts southward by 5o
4) both, the trade winds are located between ITCZ and horse latitude in southern hemisphere and Bermuda Azores High in Northern hemisphere. But their direction is different in different hemisphere. In Northern hemisphere, they blows from north to west towards equator and in Southern hemisphere, they blows from south to west towards equator.
5) areas of semi-permanent high or low pressure away from the Itcz, circular pattern forms where there is temperature
6) westerlies lie south of the Icelandic low.
