The latitude and longitude of Bolivia is 16.7120 degrees south, and 64.660 degrees west. The hemisphere it is located in is the southern western hemisphere. Bolivia resides in the Hadley cell of the three "atmospheric cell." The wind belt that Bolivia resides on is the tropical easterlies. The wind direction for Bolivia is southeast. My country is not located on a main pressure belt. The reason for this is because it is located between ITCZ and the subtropical high. My country does not have any special areas such as doldrums, etc. because it's located between both high and low pressure belts.

Bolivia has a subtropical highland climate. It is located in the Hadley's cell atmospheric cell. The winds blow in southwest direction, and they have southeasterly trades. Bolivia has a warm climate due to the location which is not by any of the major poles. The wind blows leeward, and the air rises because my country is located closer to the equator.
Bolivia does have many mountains. The highest mountain is Illimani and it is located in western Bolivia. Five types of winds that are associated with mountains are foehn, chinook, mountain, valley, and ketabatic. My country experiences mountain and valley winds. Bolivia does not have a coastline. There is land and sea breezes associated with coastlines. Bolivia does not experience these because it is surrounded by other South American countries.
