Which directions do storms usually blow?
In Australia, we usually get storms from the west or southwest direction. I dont know why, but it is very rare for them to come from any other direction, and if they do it is usually from the east or south east direction
Why dry climates often exist on the leeward side of mountain ranges adn in the horse latitudes?
because the leeward side of a mountain doesn't get any rain like on the westward side, also air drops in horse latitudes, and when air drops it causes a dry climate
Why are hurricanes on the east coast?
For two reasons. First, hurricanes tend to travel westward, so Pacific hurricanes will general travel away from the U.S. Additionally, there are cold ocean currents off the U.S. west coast, which tends to suppress hurricanes. By contrast the ocean water along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts is much water, which is ideal for hurricanes.
Which direction do global winds blow ocean currents near the equator?
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
What two directions do cylcones travel?
It depends on the type of cyclone. Tropical cyclones generally travel westward, often makinf a turn poleward (north in the northern hemisphere and south in the southern). Mid-latitude cyclones generally travel eastward. Polar lows usually travel westward.
In what derection do the trade wind belts push currents in the tropical latitudes?
Trade wind belts push currents westward in tropical latitudes.
Why did Columbus travel westward at lower latitudes?
Columbus traveled westward because he followed the winds.

In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
Why do tropical cyclones move in a westward direction?
Tropical cyclones do not always move in a westward direction. For example, cyclones that form off the northwest coast of Australia tend to move eastwards towards the coastline.
What do you call at its early age the stage of a tropical cyclone that may develop from an instability line moving westward?
A tropical cyclone in its early stages is called a tropical low.

What was hoei shin's route to America?
Then we see that circulating currents can take you from China, up the east coast of Japan, past Korea, along the Aleutians, south of Alaska, down the west coast of America to Mexico. The same currents carry you back to China on a westward path, just above the equator.
Where is the westward family from?
the westward family is from where
