the four major winds belts are doldrums, trade winds, prevailing westerlies, and the polar easterlies
What causes polar easterlies?
Polar easterlies are winds that move in near the north and south poles at 60 to 90 degrees (north or south). They are next to the prevailing westerlies. The polar easterlies are cold and windy, while the prevailing westerlies are hot and dry. The rotation of the Earth and the Sun's heat causes Polar easterlies.

No, only the Polar Easterlies (in both hemispheres). The Westerlies only blow in the mid-latitudes.

What are the three types of globalism?

Which prevailing wind belt converge in polar front?
westerlies and tropical easterlies

What are polar easterlies and prevailing westerlies?
Polar easterlies are dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the east. They emanate from the polar highs, areas of high pressure around the North and South Poles. Polar easterlies flow to low-pressure areas in sub-polar regions. Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes.
What are the names of the 3 global wind belts?
Polar Easterlies: From 60-90 degrees latitude.Prevailing Westerlies: From 30-60 degrees latitude (aka Westerlies).Tropical Easterlies: From 0-30 degrees latitude (aka Trade Winds).The three major global wind belts are the trade winds, the polar easterlies, and the prevailing westerliesHope this helped~Zadr
