Where is low pressure area created due to perpendicular position of sun on tropic of Capricorn?

Low pressure area is a region on the topographic map where the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of surrounding location. Low pressure area is created on Indian Ocean sea shore due to perpendicular position of sun on tropic of Capricorn. Low pressure can be enhanced by the air column over it being warmed by condensation of water vapour in large rain or snow systems.
