it is the trade winds that brought Columbus ships to the Caribbean
trade winds. :]
The trade winds.
basically what happened was....ages ago when people used to trade things across seas and stuff, what is now called the trade winds was the wind people would use to sail their ships to different lands to trade....so yeah, they're called trade winds because people used to trade by using them.
Trade winds were typically used by sailing ships such as the clipper ships, galleons, and merchant vessels. These ships relied on the steady and predictable trade winds to facilitate their voyages across oceans by harnessing the power of the wind to propel them forward.
explain how atmospheric pressure over the pacific ocean might affect how trade winds blow.
Yes, in bad weather or when there were adverse winds and they had to lay up, or when they needed to replenish, or when they were avoiding attack.
ANSWER:1.in olden days cargo ships sailed with the help these prevailing winds 2.easterlies were very helpful for sailing of cargo ship
sailors crossed the ocean before engines by using winds, one way they might use trade winds and to come back they might go up and use prevailing westerlies. in different areas of pressure they have different wind directions.Before the arrival of engine driven ships, all propulsion of ships was done by using tall masts, spars, and canvas sails to harness the wind.
wind power has been used to move ships with the help of trade winds and anti- trade wind wind power has been used to move ships with the help of trade winds and anti- trade wind
Prevailing winds can be used to help navigate ships and sailboats around the Earth by sea.You can sail a ship around this world even against the wind using wind energy. By picking up speed using wind then use kinetic energy gained to sail against the wind direction. So, yes, even with one wind direction we can sail the globe both ways.
What points did sailors use to navigate
