Winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles. What transfer does this flow of wind cause?

an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator. Studyisland question. Hope it helps :) Studyisland sucks especially when you are stuck.

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 ladtitudes can trade winds be found in?
These are found in the subtropics, generally below 30 degrees or so. These winds come out of the east in both hemispheres, converging towards the equator. At the equator they converge and rise, forming the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
If you took a trip near the equator what type of winds would you expect to find?
If you took a trip near the equator, you would expect to find the trade winds. These are steady winds that blow from the east towards the west, between the equator and 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres. Trade winds are characterized by their consistency and are commonly experienced in tropical regions.

Trade winds in the south pacific area generally flow?
from the south towards the equator

Where are the trade winds?
a wind blowing steadily towards the equator is called trade winds
What explains why the trade winds blow towards the Equator?
The Equator receives the most heat energy
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast?
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast are called the prevailing winds. They are very common.
Is it true global winds move heat from the equator toward the poles?
No. Heat does move with the wind, but the wind is not mostly towards the poles, as this map demonstrates. The winds going towards the equator all bend to the West because of the Coriolis effect.
What is the difference between winds and westerlies?
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 directions does trade winds blow?
Trade winds are strong winds that blow towards the equator from northeast or south east direction. They are planetary winds that keep blowing from subtropical high pressure zone to equilateral low pressure zones
