Trade winds, know as westerlies and easterlies are called
Global wind System
Trade winds are those that blow from the northeast or the southeat toward the
equator
winds coming from the north and south latitudes and moving eastward toward the poles
prevailing westerlies
Prevailing westerlies are winds forming from the
north and south latitudes
prevailing westerlies are winds coming from the north and south latitude moving
eastwards
prevailing westerlies are winds coming from the north and south latitudes and moving eastward toward the
poles
The earth rotates from
east to west direction
As winds move they are deflected to the
Right in northernhemisphere and left in southern hemisphere
As winds move they are deflected to the Right in northern hemisphere and left in southern hemisphere. This is called as the
Coriolis effect
Doldrums and Horse Latitude are found between
The wind belts
is the area around the Earth centered slightly north of the equator between the two belts of trade winds
doldrums
It is formed from the rising warm air over the equator
doldrums
can get trapped on doldrums for long periods of time because there is not enough wind
Wind-blown ships
winds found north and south of the trade winds
Horselatitudes
Horse latitudes are described as
changeable winds
winds that blow from one direction more often than other winds
prevailingwinds
Prevailing winds are the:
monsoonwinds and the tradewinds.
Northeast Monsoon or
