The doldrums region on Earth is created by an amount of heating from the Sun that results in the rising of warm, moist air, low air pressure, cloudiness, high humidity, and numerous forms of severe weather, such as thunderstorms. Hurricanes originate in this region. The doldrums are also noted for calms, periods when the winds disappear, trapping sailing vessels for days or weeks. Where are the doldrums found?
