What are types of prevailing winds?
The types of prevailing winds include the trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies. Trade winds blow from the subtropical high-pressure belts towards the equator; westerlies blow from the mid-latitude high-pressure areas towards the poles; and polar easterlies blow from the polar highs towards lower latitudes.
Prevailing winds that blow from east to west?
Either the Polar Easterlies or the Trade Winds, depending on latitude.
