The wind blows east and west primarily due to the Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of its surface. As the sun heats different areas, warm air rises and creates low-pressure zones, while cooler areas have high pressure. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects moving air to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, influencing wind direction. Additionally, global wind patterns, such as the trade winds, contribute to the prevailing easterly and westerly winds.
