At zones of divergence and convergence, such as the equator, poles, horse latitudes, and polar fronts, the surface winds are generally weak or calm due to the lack of pressure gradient force. These zones are typically associated with low-pressure systems, and the Coriolis effect is weak, which leads to weak or calm surface winds.
