Does the wind in the us blow east to west west to east north to south or south to north?
It can blow from any of those directions, because wind directions are caused by low pressure and high pressure areas and their position relative to where you are. Air currents in a low pressure area move counter-clockwise, air currents in a high pressure area move clockwise. So if there is a low pressure area north of you, the counter-clockwise air movement will cause a wind blowing from west to east. There are however prevailing wind directions in most areas of the globe including the USA. What it is in your area will depend on where you live. Flagstaff Arizona for instance has a south westerly wind most of the time, while San Francisco usually has a north-westerly wind. Jus google "prevailing wind direction" plus the name of your State and you will find what it is where you live.
Concerning weather what is a pressure belt?
In terms of pressure belts in Weather, there are two distinct forms or variations. There is a Low Pressure belt which results in stormy, cloudy and rainy weather. Accordingly, there is also a High Pressure belt which naturally results in a calm and dry atmosphere. These pressure belts are effected by warming and cooling of the air. There is far more to learn about these and far more I could offer, but I would need significant space to do so. Do some of your own research in the library and in Meteorology courses.
Does high pressure take away more space?
yes. high pressure take away space because when high pressure came together it increase the pressure.

A Low Pressure system. High pressure systems exist "by default"; meaning that high pressure systems occur everywhere that there are no low pressure systems.

What does it mean if your oil pressure gauge is high?

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
