Global wind belts can cause all kinds of weather. They can pick up moisture and cause monsoons and prolonged wet seasons. They can cause calm regions of light winds, and they can also enhance warmth that causes mild weather.

Explain why there are global high-pressure and low-pressure belts on Earth?
The convection cells radiate heat.
What directions do westerlies blow?
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.
What is the name of the winds that blow from the subtropical high pressure belts towards the subpolar low pressure belts?
Trade Winds
Global winds are divided by latitude into three belts.?
True.
Whats the difference between jet streams and global wind belts?
The difference between jet streams and global wind belts is jet streams is winds of high speed generally from the west that move 250 miles per hour. Global wind belts are created when the earth receives an unequal amount of heat from sunlight and the spinning of the earth.
What is the cause of global wind belts?
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
Global pressure belts are caused by?
Temperature variation.
What causes global pressure belts?
Uneven heating of the sun.
How you will you explain pressure belts and winds diagram?
The Coriolis effect explains this phenomenon clearly. Pressure belts and wind belts differ in patterns depending on certain atmospheric factors like temperature.
How are global wind systems affected by global pressure belts and the Coriolis effect?
The elevation damaged its climate.
How are global wind systems affected by the coriolis effect and global pressure belts?
The elevation damaged its climate.
How global wind system are affected by global pressure belts and Coriolis Effect?
The elevation damaged its climate.
What are Bands of high pressure and low pressure found every thirty degrees latitude called?
pressure belts
Explain why there are global high-pressure and low-pressure belts on Earth?
The convection cells radiate heat.
What are the global wind belts?
the major global wind belts are the trade winds, the polar easterlies, and the prevailing westerlies.
Where are pressure belts located on earth?
Locate the pressure belts on earth
What is shifting of pressure belt?
It is the temperature which controls the pressure belts and ,therefore, as the sun moves from one tropic to another, the pressure belts also do the same.This phenomenon is called as shifting of pressure belts.
