Because winds are named for where they come from, polar easterlies blow from the poles in the east out to the west.

Winds form as they more from high pressure areas near the poles toward the low pressure areas 30 degrees below each of the poles. You can see from the pictures that these winds blow from the East to the West. The winds are therefore called Polar Easterlies.

What winds blow diagonally from east to west?
This would in fact be the Polar Easterlies. Winds from the north blow south, but are pushed from east to west by the Westerlies which forces the wind into a diagonal direction.
Air currents that blow near the north and south poles are the?
polar easterlies :)
Easterlies flow from?
Easterlies flow from the e eastern direction. An easy way to find out where winds blow from is from their name itself. Its that simple!!
Is there a wind called the polar westerlies?
No, only the Polar Easterlies (in both hemispheres). The Westerlies only blow in the mid-latitudes.
Polar winds definition?
Because winds are named for where they come from, polar easterlies blow from the poles in the east out to the west.
Where do polar easterlies occur?
It occurs both at the North and South Pole
Winds that blow from the North and South poles?
polar easterlies
What winds that blow from the North and South Poles?
Polar Easterlies
Polar Easterlies in the Southern Hemisphere blow from?
north to south
What direction does polar easterlies move?
north to east
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 is the polar easterlies?
The Polar Easterlies are dry prevailing winds that blow from high pressure areas in the north and south poles. These winds are also called Polar Hadley cells.

Which global wind belt occurs between 30 and 60 degrees latitude?
Wind belts that extend from the poles to 60 degrees latitude are called polar easterlies.
