westward
The trade winds are located about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. They blow consistently in a westward direction in tropical regions, influencing global weather patterns and ocean currents.
Global winds do not directly cause deep currents. Deep ocean currents are primarily driven by differences in water density, which are influenced by temperature and salinity. While global winds can indirectly affect the distribution and movement of deep currents through their impact on surface currents and mixing processes, they are not the primary driving force.
They both have covection currents and effect the weather
Convection currents drive the movement of warm air rising and cool air sinking in the atmosphere, resulting in the formation of global wind patterns. These global wind patterns help distribute heat around the Earth, impacting weather and climate patterns on a global scale.
The global winds that blow constantly from the same direction and cover a large part of Earth's surface are called the Trade Winds. These winds are caused by the Earth's rotation and the difference in temperature between the equator and the poles. The Trade Winds play a significant role in shaping climate and weather patterns around the world.
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
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.
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
The trade winds are located about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. They blow consistently in a westward direction in tropical regions, influencing global weather patterns and ocean currents.
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
The wind that drives equatorial currents is primarily the Trade Winds. These winds blow consistently from east to west near the equator, pushing surface waters in the same direction and creating equatorial currents. The Coriolis effect also influences the direction of these currents.
The winds above the equator are called "winds aloft". Below it, there are various ocean currents, but no winds.
Global winds drive heated air from the equator to the poles. It also drives colder air from the poles to the equator.

Winds and currents flow faster at the equator compared to the poles. This is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation, which deflects winds and currents, making them stronger at the equator where the effect is minimized. At the poles, the Coriolis effect is strongest, resulting in slower winds and currents.
