Trade winds are nearly constant easterly winds that blow towards the equator. The westerly's on the other hand, are winds blowing from the west. which are in the the mid-latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between trade winds and westerlies?
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.
Global winds found between 30 and 60 degrees lattitude?
There are trade winds and doldrums- ( which is right on the equator )
What are winds that blow 30 and 60 degrees latitude called?
Westerlies (winds from the west) that blow between 30 degrees and 60 degrees north of the equator
Winds that flow toward the poles in the opposite direction of the trade winds are called what?
The winds that flow towards the poles in the opposite direction of the trade winds are called the westerlies. These winds are typically found between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The westerlies play a crucial role in driving weather systems and ocean currents across the globe.
What are 3 planetary winds?
the trade winds,the westerlies,the polar winds
What do you call winds that blow between the equator and poles?
Winds that blow between the equator and the poles are generally referred to as "prevailing westerlies" in the mid-latitudes and "trade winds" in the tropics. The trade winds blow from east to west in the tropics, while the prevailing westerlies blow from west to east in the mid-latitudes. These winds are influenced by the Earth's rotation and temperature differences between the equator and the poles.
What is the difference between trade winds and prevailing westerlies?
Polar easterlies are prevailing winds that blow from east to west between 60 degrees and 90 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. Polar westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from west to east between 30 degrees and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres.
What winds blow from west to east?
the trade winds
The subtropical jet stream lies between the westerlies and trade winds. true or false?
false
What are the three major wind belts?
Trade Winds, Prevailing Westerlies, Polar Westerlies
What type surface winds are between the subtropical high pressure and sub polar low pressure zones?
In the northern hemisphere, winds associated with a high-pressure system blow clockwise towards the center.
What are the winds called in the mid-latitudes?
The dominant winds in the mid-latitudes are the westerlies. These winds blow from the west towards the east, generally between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. They play a significant role in weather patterns and the movement of storms in these regions.
