trade winds
West to East
If a hurricane or other tropical cyclone is moving the winds on one side will be faster than on the opposite side in relation to the ocean or ground the storm is moving over. In the Northern Hemisphere the fastest winds will be on the right side, if you are looking in the direction of the storm's movement. That is, if the hurricane is moving toward the west, the strongest winds will be on the north side; if it's moving north, the strongest winds will be on the east side.
The prevailing winds are different in different latitudes. In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are west to east. In the mid-latitudes of the southern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are from east to west.
west to east
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.

The prevailing winds blow from west to east at these latitudes
Winds blowing east to west or west to east are referred to as zonal winds
yes if the winds are strong enough like hurricane force winds
yes global winds blow from either west to east or east to west
because the west winds were stronger then the east winds.
Either the Polar Easterlies or the Trade Winds, depending on latitude.
east to west
Ocean currents flow from east to west near the sub-equatorial area. These winds are called "trade winds" and they start in Portugal, they move to the Canary Islands, to the Cape Verde and then to the West part of the Caribbean.
the trade winds
The prevailing westerlies winds are responsible for pushing most of the weather movement.
