The Westerlies.
Trade winds blow from east to west while the westerlies blow from west to east. Trade winds blow near the equator whereas the westerlies blow in the middle latitudes.
The prevailing winds are different in different latitudes. In the mid-latitudes of the northern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are west to east. In the mid-latitudes of the southern hemisphere, the prevailing winds are from east to west.
Around 30 degrees latitude is the approximate area of transition from the tropics to the middle latitudes. The tropics are lergely dominated by the trade winds, which blow out of the east. The middle latitudes are dominated by the premailing westerlies, which blow out of the west. The dominant wind pattern of a given latitude largely dictates the direction of storm movement.
They're called westerlies. Good luck with your paper!
No, California is in the mid-latitudes where the prevailing wind is from the west.
High altitudes winds at mid-latitudes blow from the west because they are influenced by the earth rotation. But it depends on the scale and time you are talking about.

The prevailing winds blow from west to east at these latitudes
Either the Polar Easterlies or the Trade Winds, depending on latitude.
The winds that blow between the poles and 60° latitudes in both hemispheres and curve West are called what
It depends which part of the Pacific. Much of the Pacific is within 30 degrees of the equator, where the wind tends to blow from the east. In the mid-latitudes, the prevailing winds are westerly.

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.
Weather patterns usually move from west to east. Winds from the west, known as the prevailing westerlies, dominate at mid-latitudes, so a wind blowing all the way from Ireland to the U.S. East Coast is highly unlikely. That said, the global wind pattern is from the east at tropical latitudes from the equator to about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Therefore, winds do blow to the west and can sometimes carry dust from Africa's Sahara Desert across the Atlantic to the Caribbean or even to the southeastern USA.

the mesophere is known as in the middle. the mesophere gets colder as altitude incresses. there are many strong winds in the mesphere. these winds blow from west to east in the winter and in the summer they blow east to west.
