it is because of the earth's rotation. Spinning the winds to go west to east on the USA

What are winds called that blow toward the equator?
The trade winds (northeast or southeast depending on which hemisphere you're in) blow towards the Equator.
What wind blows toward the equator?
Trade winds
What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Why don't trade winds blow straight toward the equator?
The Coriolis effect bends them
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
What is a belt of steady winds blowing toward the equator?
Trade winds!
What are winds that blow from the east from the horse latitude toward the equator?
Trade Winds
What are winds called that blow toward the equator?

Where do the warm winds near the equator move?
toward your mom?

Why don't trade winds blow straight toward the equator?

How does the coriolis effect influences winds?
The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
How does the winds effect the coriolis effect?
The Coriolis effect causes an air mass moving from the North Pole to the equator to bend to the west, or turn toward the right. In the Southern Hemisphere the opposite happens.
In the northern hemisphere planetary winds blowing from north to south are deflected or curved toward the west What is this delection caused by?
Spinning of Earth on it's Axis
What causes winds to be deflected to the right or the left as they flow from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
Do the trade winds occur on the equator?
They are very light if at all, most of the winds at the equator are going straight up due to the amount of heating.
