Prevailing winds are also known as wind belts and can simply be described as winds that blow mainly from one direction.While local winds can vary in all directions, large scale weather patterns and wind patterns are part of the global wind belts. Multiple diagrams for global wind belts can be found using a simple search on the internet. Large-scale high and low pressure zones are formed and since winds blow from high to low, large circulation patterns of prevailing winds are formed. These winds are deflected in an East or West direction based on the Coriolis Effect. More information on the Coriolis Effect can be found in the links below. In England the prevailing wind is SW.
the Prevailing Westerlies blow from the WEST to the EAST.
The answer is in the word, Westerlies blow out of the West.
They blow in the same direction.
From west to east.
No, only the Polar Easterlies (in both hemispheres). The Westerlies only blow in the mid-latitudes.
Polar Westerlies.
usually west to east because in the global wind currents, we are located in the westerlies. but the wind can blow in any direction
The Westerlies are winds that blow from West to East across the United States.
Westerlies
they get their name because of the direction they blow

the trade winds
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
The global winds that blow from the southwest to the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere are called the westerlies. These winds are found between 30 and 60 degrees latitude and play a key role in shaping weather patterns in this region.
Prevailing westerlies
The prevailing westerlies pick up warmth from the North Atlantic Drift and carry it over Europe. The East is most affected because prevailing westerlies blow from the west to the east. ... Explain which part of Europe is most affected.
They're called westerlies. Good luck with your paper!
