How many major winds are there?
There are 3 global winds per hemisphere, so 6 in total. The 3 global winds are the: easterlies, which move from east to west. westerlies, which move from west to east. and the trade winds, which also moves from the east to west.
Global winds that blow from west to east?
yes global winds blow from either west to east or east to west
How is the formation of global winds and small scale winds similar?
Winds are caused by differences in air pressure, winds move from high to low pressure. Has something to do with the coriolis effect.:]
Why do the winds curve to the East between 30-60 degrees?
The Coriolis effect is the apparent curvature of global winds, ocean currents, and everything else that moves freely across the Earth's surface. The curvature is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. ... Between thirty and sixty degrees latitude, the winds that move toward the poles appear to curve to the east.
What global winds affect hurricanes movement?
Mostly the Trade winds because hurricanes form and spend much of their life in the tropics. Some of them then move to the mid-latitudes, where they are affected by the Westerlies.

Global winds that blow from west to east?
yes global winds blow from either west to east or east to west
What winds move west to east?
West winds.
Where do global winds move warm air?
Toward The Poles
How global winds move warm air toward the?
Poles.
What effects do global winds have on Earth?
they move cloud fronts
What makes global winds curve?
Coriolis force causes global winds to curve. As winds move north or south, they are deflected due to the rotation of the Earth. They curve to the west.
Where do global winds move cold air?
Ocean currents form
How are convection currents and global winds related?
Global winds drag on the ocean's surface causing it to move and build up in the direction the wind is blowing.
Why do most storms move from the west coast of America to the east?
The prevailing winds blow from west to east at these latitudes
What is the difference between global and local winds?
Global Winds are the current speed of the jet stream, while Local Winds is the current wind speed for a certain location.
